Falling Hard For You |

It wasn't just your soft eyes, it wasn't just your smile, it was somewhere deep inside you kept calling me to trial and then I got worried when I looked at you, you knew that I was falling, falling hard for you. I tried to leave the rush but I got thinking bout our time and I couldn't give you up when I tried to change my mind and there in the sunrise I looked at you and you knew that I was falling, falling hard for you. When we're not together I can hear our voices through an open door calling to each other for the love we're both yearning for. Now I'm done running cause I can't get by you know that I was just hiding inside love I would'nt show and all of these feelings that I tried to hide you knew that I was falling, falling hard for you..... |

'When we're not together I can hear our voices through an open door calling to each other for the love we're both yearning for.' Wow. Excellent write. This is absolutely beautiful, and so very romantic! Love it!! sp I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

I tried to leave the rush but I got thinking bout our time and I couldn't give you up when I tried to change my mind and there in the sunrise I looked at you and you knew that I was falling, falling hard for you. ====================== E-babes your rhyme is singing to me again I LOOOVE this one... you are at your BEST BY FAR when you are falling or writing about love... gets me everytime ...always has. ( ya know the ONE too dont ya ) *smile* "and then I got worried when I looked at you, you knew that I was falling, falling, hard for you." ********** She couldnt look you in the eyes ... for fear her own would give her away She knew you'd see right thru her and know her heart had come in to play When at last your eyes met ... there was nothing that brown eyed girl could do there was no hiding ... that she was falling, falling for you jm ******** Brown Eyed Girl Words and music by Van Morrison Hey where did we go, Days when the rains came Down in the hollow, Playin' a new game, Laughing and a running hey, hey Skipping and a jumping In the misty morning fog with Our hearts a thumpin' and you My brown eyed girl, You my brown eyed girl. Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down the old mind With a transistor radio Standing in the sunlight laughing, Hiding behind a rainbow's wall, Slipping and sliding All along the water fall, with you My brown eyed girl, You my brown eyed girl. Do you remember when we used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da So hard to find my way, Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My how you have grown, Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium with you My brown eyed girl You my brown eyed girl Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.

I really like the repetition of the last lines in your first, second and fourth stanzas. It pulls it all together fabulously. |
