This cold's got me sinking,
This rain's got me blinking,
It's true
My thoughts are churning,
My senses are burning,
All I can think of is you

But...
Alone, I am walking
It feels...
Much like falling

But then I lift my head,
Your voice, it's the sound,
That reaches out to me,
Makes sure I don't drown
And when I walk to you,
My feet can't feel ground,
Because falling in love with you,
Is much like falling down

Your eyes are swimming,
With love they are brimming,
For me
Your lips, they are teasing,
Your hand, it is squeezing,
Because I am all that you see

Together...
We, are walking
It feels...
Much like falling

Because when I lift my head,
Your voice, it's the sound,
That reaches out to me,
Makes sure I don't drown
And when I walk to you,
My feet can't feel ground,
Because falling in love with you,
Is much like falling down

My heart...hurts and shrinks,(It...shrinks)
From the thought of you being gone
Now that I have you,(Have...you...)
I am so afraid to be alone
Promise that you'll stay with me,(With me...)
Until eternal...night...comes,
Because I want every moment,(Moment...)
To be much like falling in love

And so I lift my head
Your voice, it's the sound,
That reaches out to me,
Makes sure I don't drown
And when I walk to you,
My feet can't feel ground,
Because falling in love with you...
Is much like falling down

This romantic piece is something different for me, it does actually tell a story.

It begins with the man headed home, the weather is bad, he is cold and alone, thinking of her, the one he loves, and then her voice calls out to him, helps direct him home, because it's too dark and the weather's too bad for him to see his way.

But the essence of the piece is simple, for both of them, every moment together is much like falling in love, all over again.

And that is EXACTLY how it should be.
