When I Write The Book Lyrics

When I Write The Book lyrics

when i write the book 	 

	(nick lowe/dave edmunds/billy bremner)



now i can remember like it was only yesterday

love was young and foolish like a little child at play

but oh how lovers change - i never dreamed how easily

’cause now i’m just a shadow of the boy i used to be



	and when i write the book about my love

	it will be about a man who’s torn in half

	about his hopes and ambitions wasted through the years

	the pain will be written on every page in tears

	when i write the book about my love



i was a fool to myself when i kept on runnin’ around

and i fared little better when i tried settlin’ down

maybe some magic moment - i’ve never known one, not for long

for all too soon the magic is in a moment gone



	and when i write the book about my love

	it’ll be a heartbreaking story about love and luck

	when i get down on the pages all i felt

	it will make the hardest-hearted of critics’ hearts melt

	when i write the book about my love



when i was young love was fun and i was so happy - i looked so good and i
dressed so snappy

two-tone shoes on my feet big old smile on my face - as i moved and grooved all
over the place

now i’m down in the heels my complexion is bad

’cause my love life is sadder than sad



	and when i write the book about my love

	it’ll be a pop publication, tougher than tough

	when i get down on the pages all i missed

	it will shoot to the top of the best-sellers list

	when i write the book about my love
