The Shangri-Las - The Boy

His eyes the eyes, of a boy growing old
Deep down inside theres a story untold
He's sad, then laughs awhile he looks at me and then he smiles
Im in love, Im in love with that boy
Till I met him I never thought
that love could feel this way
Mynights were filled with lonely dreams
that grew worse with each passing day
I used to walk the streets at night
with really no place to go
but loneliness is part of my past
a million tears ago
When I stand by his side, My heart fills with pride
I look up at his face and I know, among giants he'll hold his place
So proud so bold, so strong can I behold
Do you think that people are being fair
Cause they all believe two bare
But I dont fear what people say
Our love will grow stronger with each passing day
Ohhhhh Im in love
Ohhhhhh Im in love
