Since I Fell

Lyrics and Music ©1999 by Bill Roper


I write most of my music with my guitar in hand. This song was written – or at least started – in the car on the way down to visit my father, when I desperately needed to distract myself from the situation at hand. It worked.

C                                          F                              C
Mama warned me when a girl had scorned me, don't believe in love at first sight.
C                                           F                      G	
If I let you, since they day I met you, you might discover maybe I might.
F                C                           E                            Am
When you told me that you want to hold me, I knew nobody else there would do.
       F          C               F       C
So I'm taking the chance.  I'm so happy I dance
          F          G         C
Since the day that I fell over you.

	(Chorus)
	        F         C              F         C
	Since I fell over you, I've been out of my mind
	       F      C              G
	And if anyone looks, well, I know they will find
	         F         C             F          C
	That I'm head over heel from the way that I feel
	           F         C               E
	There's no need to appeal ‘cause the feeling is real.
	           F             G
	That's the way that I've been
	          Dm7        G         C
	Since the day that I fell over you.

Tripping, falling, there's no hope of stalling emotions that are too strong to hide.
Feel it, gauge it, there's no way to cage it, and I don't want to keep it inside.
Never missed you ‘till the day I kissed you, and now I hope you're missing me too.
‘Cause your kiss is the key that has set my heart free
Since the day that I fell over you.

(Chorus)

Chance romance has got me in a trance, it's left me praying you're gonna stay.
My eye spies it, knows you can't disguise it, and now I know you feel the same way.
The spirit's willin' and I find it's thrillin', relearning things I thought that I knew.
‘Cause it's not like before.  There's a new world in store
Since the day that I fell over you.

(Chorus)
	           F             G
	That's the way that I've been
	          Dm7        G         C
	Since the day that I fell over you.
	           F             G
	That's the way that I've been
	          Dm7        G         C
	Since the day that I fell over you.
