WHEN I FALL IN LOVE
NAT KING COLE

When I fall in love it will be forever 
Or I'll never fall in love 
In a restless world like this is 
Love is ended before it's begun 
And too many moonlight kisses 
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun 

When I give my heart it will be completely 
Or I'll never give my heart 
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too 
Is when I fall in love with you. 

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too 
Is when I fall in love with you 

WHEN WE FELL OUT OF LOVE 

Tears fall from my eyes; you said we were over 
Now you’re walking out on me 
Never dreamed you didn’t love me 
You were always right there by my side 
But you had a secret lover 
You’re a rat it cannot be denied

I can’t sleep at night for my heart is aching
Now you’ve chosen her not me 
I am hurting oh so bad I don’t know what to do
Why did I fall in love with you?

I am hurting oh so bad I don’t know what to do
Why did I fall in love with you?

I dig it. Fit my ever bitter mood perfectly. Why does anyone ever fall in love? That's the question. Excellent poem
