Although the book lacks in the passion department there is one scene in it that is okay. Here when Berniece and Lymon kiss, I think of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” by Elton John. Growing up watching Disney cartoons this song has been one of my favorites ever since I can remember. On one hand I think this is a very romantic song and on the other it is still very childish and simple. This song is very sweet, and the melody makes me think of their relationship. “It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer, that we got this far”, Lymon is the wanderer, he has been with many women, but now say he just wants to settle down. Lymon is shy, but he makes subtle passes at Berniece, by calling her pretty among other complements, besides that the relationship seems to be inexistent until that moment during the night that Lymon comes to the house. At that moment Berniece becomes accommodating and nice to Lymon by making his bed and the scene climaxes as they share a kiss. Plus Elton John just goes with anything to do with piano.
