He's fallin' and he's fallin'
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
A sinister romantic
Oh he's about to be and she's about to see
Teachin' torches to burn bright
She's hanging on the cheek of night
A snowy dove trooping with crows
He never saw true beauty till tonight
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh don't you know it
Oh don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh don't you know it
Oh don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love
He's fallin' and he's fallin'
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
A sinister romantic
Oh he's about to be and she's about to see
His bounty's boundless like the sea
His love is endless just as deep
The more he gives the more he has `Cause both of them are truly infinite
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh don't you know it
Oh don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh don't you know it
Oh don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love
He's fallin' and he's fallin'
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh don't you know it
Oh don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh don't you know it
Oh don't you know it
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh don't you know it
Oh don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love
That's Shakespeare in love
That's Shakespeare in love
