Song Lyrics

Life is just a storybook
From the day we're born
When we learn to cry
Until the day we die
We learn to walk, to talk, to tell the truth
And maybe. an occasional, lie

As we turn each page we learn with age
Life is a stage and we all play a part
The story reaches its climax
When you fall in love and lose your heart

You nonchalantly go along, completely unaware
It's just another ordinary day
You meet, a sweet, who sweeps you of your feet
Your heart skips a bit and runs away

You can't recall that tender song to show how much you care
You can't think of a single thing to say
You're weak, so meek, you talk but you don't speak
Your heart skips a bit and runs away

It may be tuesday, or sunday
Thursday or monday
Love never warns you at all

It may be august, september
April, november
Winter, summer, spring you're sure to fall

No matter what you plan to do
When cupid speaks you've got your cue
You're just another actor in a play

You laugh, you sing
When someone pulls a string
There's nothing left to do but just obey
When your heart skips a beat and runs away

You nonchalantly go along, completely unaware
It's just another ordinary day
You meet, a sweet, who sweeps you of your feet
Your heart skips a bit and runs away

I can't recall that tender song to show how much I care
I can't think of a single thing to say
You're weak, so meek, you talk but you don't speak
Your heart skips a beat and runs away

It may be tuesday, or sunday
Thursday or monday
Love never warns you at all

It may be august, september
April, november
Winter, summer, spring, you're sure to fall

No matter what you plan to do
When cupid speaks you've got your cue
You're just another actor in a play

You laugh, you sing
When someone pulls a string
There's nothing left to do but just obey
When your heart skips a beat and runs away
