Since I Fell For You
Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you've gone
Since I fell for you
Oh, love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well, it's too bad and it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
First you love me then you snub me
But what can I do? I'm still in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you, since I fell for you
