LYRICS

I once was in love
That was so long ago
And all that I knew were tears
Now I keep my heart safe
Keep the pain locked away
And make sure that no one gets near
Then what do I call what I’m feeling
Whenever I get close to you
If I didn’t know better
I might even say
I’m falling in love with you

Sometimes we would walk
There was no need to talk
And I wanted nothing more
Now I don’t understand
How the touch of your hand
Can make my heart feel so unsure
Is this really the first time
I see that your eyes are so blue
If I didn’t know better
I might even say
I’m falling in love with you

Love’s for young dreamers
For foolish believers
A fleeting tenderness
If I don’t want the sorrow
I know comes tomorrow
Then why do I dream of your kiss

I must have been wrong
That was just some love song
Or the breeze on a summer’s day
I was some kind of fool
Now I’m looking at you
The feeling has faded away
Then you turn and you smile at me
I no longer know what is true
If I didn’t know better
I might even say
I’m falling in love with you

Now I know better
I guess you could say
I’m falling in love with you.
