John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Falling For You

Falling for you

I can't say my life's been easy,
one thing has helped me get through
from cries in the night to feeling alright
was my dream of me finding you

Lost and alone was my journey,
fruitless my searching for you...
when you walked in, I felt my life begin,
I knew I'd be falling for you

Chorus
I...cant... believe that you're here,
I just love everything that you do!
The spark in your smile, makes my life worthwhile
and I know that I'm falling for you!
It's...true...I love what you do,
and I can't believe that you are here!
You gave up the dance, for a shot at romance
and I know that I'm falling for you,
yeah, I'm tripping and falling for you!

I found myself in Buenos Aires,
I'm not really sure just why,
You got on the train, I thought I'd go insane
I knew I'd be falling for you

We got off at the same station,
we walked to Teatro Colon*,
You disappeared but my vision stayed clear,
I knew I was falling for you

Chorus
I...cant... believe that you're here,
I just love everything that you do!
The spark in your smile, makes my life worthwhile
and I know that I'm falling for you!
It's...true...I love what you do,
and I can't believe that you are here!
You gave up the dance, for a shot at romance
and I know that I'm falling for you,
yeah, I'm tripping and falling for you!

I was just one of the thousands...
who saw you in your ballet shoes,
You leapt on the stage, and my heart flipped the page
and I knew I was falling for you!

I saw you after the show...
seems... you were waiting for someone,
when I called out your name, things were never the same
because you too, knew I was the one.

Chorus
I...can't... believe that you're here,
I just love everything that you do!
The spark in your smile, makes my life worthwhile
and I know that I'm falling for you!
It's...true...I love what you do,
and I can't believe that you are here!
You gave up the dance, for a shot at romance
and I know that I'm falling for you,

yeah, I'm tripping and falling for you!
yeah, I'm tripping and falling for you!
yeah, I'm tripping and falling for you!
repeat and fade!
