Falling In Love With You
Livingston Taylor · Life Is Good [2006]
Falling in love with you
Was easy as the day
A down man looked up to see
Nice things in his way
Falling in love with you
Was like that first sunrise
Was it in my window
Or was it in your eyes
And I call myself an island
And luckily I find
That you're the sea around me
And are with me for all time
Falling in love with you
Was learning how to cry
And telling you I'm all alone
Ooh please don't pass me by
Falling in love with you
Was learning how to see
That you are you and I am me
And how fine that can be
And I call myself an island
And luckily I find
That you're the sea around me
And are with me for all time
