The Day We Fall In Love
The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]
And the wind will be blowing through your hair,
I'll look into your eyes and wait for the prize,
Your lips kissing mine with a love that is real,
And you'll look so young and fair,
On the day we fall in love, you and me,
On the day we fall in love, you'll see.
There'll be rainbows reaching across the sky,
And we'll both be so happy we'll cry,
We'll walk hand in hand in snow or in sand,
Whether roses are blooming or snowmen stand by,
Time will stop for you and I,
On the day we fall in love,
It will be on the day we fall in love, you'll see.
And if the lines that I say fall apart,
It's because I won't know where to start,
But, you'll understand when I say them to you,
'Cause they'll come straight from my heart,
On the day we fall in love, you and me,
On the day we fall in love, you'll see,
You'll see,
You'll see.
