There you stand – in a bookshop

Gentle hands – in a bookshop

And the sun is warm and all the dust is rising

You are lost and I am quietly in love with you

Quietly in love – in a bookshop

You looked round – in the bookshop

Silent sounds – filled the bookshop

Your eyebright eyes looked on the open pages

Blue and clear while I fell quietly in love with you

Quietly in love – in the bookshop

I knew something wonderful would happen

You were lost amongst the shelves and sheaves

Open up your heart and let my passion

Brush across the leaves

All was born – in a bookshop

We were called – in a bookshop

And here we are and years have passed behind us

Happy years and I’m still quietly in love with you

Like those two – in the bookshop

And here we are and years have passed behind us

Happy years and I’m still quietly in love with you

Like those two…

In the bookshop
