When I Write The Book

Well I can remember Like it was only yesterday Love was young and foolish Like a little child at play But oh how love has changed I never knew how easily Now I'm just a shadow Of the boy I used to be Yeah yeah And when I write the book About my love It will be about a man Who was torn in half By his hope and ambition Wasted through the years The man will be written On every page in tears When I write, When I write the book When I write the book about my love When I write the book about my love I was a fool to my self When I kept on running around I've been a little better Oh when I tried settling down Maybe some magic moment You never know but not for long But all too soon the magic Was in a moment gone And when I write the book About my love It will be a heart breaking story About love and luck And when I get down on the pages All I have felt It will make the hardest heart of the critics heart melt When I write, When I write the book When I write the book about my love When I write the book about my love When I was young love was fun I was so happy I looked so good And I dressed so happy Two tone shoes on my feet Big old smile on my face As I moved, moved, grooved All over the place Now I'm down on my luck And my complexion is bad Because my love love life Is sadder than sad And when I write the book About my love It will be a hard publication Tougher than tough When I get down on the pages All I've amassed It will shoot to the top Of the bestsellers list When I write, When I write the book When I write the book about my love When I write the book about my love When I write the book When I write the book about my love When I write the book about my love --- When I Write the Book - Colin James
