He's fought and he's fallen  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    CHORUS:  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 fought and he's fallen  He's on his knees before he's on his feet  A glittery 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    CHORUS:  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    That's Shakespeare in love    A sinister romantic  He's on his knees before he's on his feet    CHORUS:  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    That's Shakespeare in love
