" A SHOP WITH BOOKS IN" É UMA CANÇÃO SOBRE BIBLIOTECAS

There’s a story waiting inside
Behind the door, as it opens wide
And I wander in, hoping to find
Something

As they tell the stories we know
And those we don’t are waiting to be held,
And taken home

There’s a strange man inside
Who knows what I like
He’ll rush with tea to my side
And a stack of books piled high
If I’m lucky enough there will be lots of stuff
That makes me smile inside

A shop with books in….

Shelves stacked high
Fills my eyes
Cant describe
Who knows what you’ll find

A lovely lady guides me through
I smell the pages, excitement grew
How glad am I to be In company, of such
Purveyors of quality
Her knowledge is vast, Her hand reaches out
And pulls the spine of a beautifully bound
Book of delights, Picked especially for me
(ooooh, I’m so happy)

A shop with books in….
