I know this might not end up how I'd love it to
But that's too bad,  cause I'm already on this ledge for you
Speak softly,  for the words you speak could stagger me
Then I would fall for you,  and fall for an eternity

I must confess to you that I made up a story
When I said that I could fall for you, I lied
The truth is that I never even stood a chance
I fell for you the night you met my eyes

I must admit that I have cherished every moment
That I fought to keep these feelings in disguise
Because every single time I lost the battle
I could admit it never caught me by surprise

I know I said I could fall
But what I meant was I fell
Long before I even thought I stood a chance
When I first saw you smile
Girl,  that's when I could tell
And I have waited so long for this dance

So I'll embrace you in this moment
And I'll hope you can tell
Before I said I could fall,  girl I fell

I must apologize if that all sounds a bit rushed
It was like your eyes portrayed the picture of your heart
And the reason that I walked up there beside you
Was the question of why we were still apart

I must answer that by saying this world's not right
Cause I know I should have met you long ago
But what matters now is your hand is in my hand
And I can dance with you and let you know

I know I said I could fall
But what I meant was I fell
Long before I even thought I stood a chance
When I first saw you smile
Girl,  that's when I could tell
And I have waited so long for this dance

So I'll embrace you in this moment
And I'll hope you can tell
Before I said I could fall,  girl I fell
