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   That's Shakespeare in love    That's Shakespeare in love
