Falling

Like a sudden rain storm
Without a way to be warned,
All at once, out of the clear blue,
I stumbled upon you.

It started rather slowly.
But came upon me quickly.
And now, I'm losing grip and...
I'm starting to slip and...

I'm falling, falling, falling so deeply;
I'm falling, falling, falling completely;
I'm falling, falling, falling so in love with you.

Will has said goodbye now.
My defense has lied down.
When you're near, I can't make a sound.
I completely break down.

Like the strongest current,
Powerful and stirring,
With a pull, that takes such a hold;
A strength that will not let go...

I'm falling, falling, falling so deeply;
I'm falling, falling, falling completely;
I'm falling, falling, falling so in love with you.

Though I've tried not to give in,
The strings have begun to wear thin.
My hold has become loose and...
I fear that its no use `cause....

I'm falling, falling, falling so in love with...you.
