Based on a true story

Wanting a signature
Was the purpose of his game
Nothing more he bargained for
Than the writing of a name

His tactics failed to shock
It took him by surprise
Before he knew he'd gained a job
With a sparkling bathroom prize

Watching the relationship
Like a seedling grow
Built out of a strange respect
Or something we'll never know

Was it because no kid gloves
Were donned right from the start
That the walls came down with ease
Tugging at each other's heart

Midnight walks
Along the Seine
Tenderly
Easing phantom pain
Racing the Maserati
Police in tow
Earth, Wind and Fire
Blasting as they go

Opera visit
Laughter filled
Paragliding trip
Scared and thrilled
Dunkirk drive
When love was dearth
Prove to the man
Still held worth

The tale of friendship
Played out for us on screen
But in real life
They held each other's dream
