Lets Fall In Love
Ella Fitzgerald · Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook [1956]
I have a feeling, it's a feeling,
I'm concealing, I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental sentimental alibi
But I adore you
So strong for you
Why go on stalling
I am falling
Love is calling
Why be shy?
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not be
Let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
(instrumental)
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not be
Let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Now is the time for it while we are young
Let's fall in love
lets fall in love
