Fallin'

Fallin’

Jazz was in the air that night

And your eyes they glowed so bright

Laying out on top of my blue car

Underneath all those big bright stars

Chorus

I knew we could fly away
We could find a better day

I knew we could fly from here

We could leave this atmosphere

Im falling

Falling in love

Now denial it sets it

We still think that we are only friends

Why can’t we see what others see

Are we afraid of what could be

Chorus

Now denial it’s worn off

I don’t think that we are only friends

I’m not afraid of what others see

I’m not afraid of what could be

About

I wrote Fallin' about the first night that I really knew that I could spend the rest of my life with Jamie. We met as counselors at East Iowa Bible Camp and during one of our weekends off all of the counselors went to one of the counselor's parents' house. I had just bought a 3-disc big band jazz collection and we sat on the trunk of my car listening to my newly aquired tunes. We talked for hours and I loved every second with her and I knew that we could be together. Unfortunatly our evening was interupted by one of the parents coming out and saying that people might get the wrong idea about us being alone on top of my car. They were probably right. The picture is of Jamie and I that summer. The recording is rough and was made in a spare bedroom we had in our first house.
