Fallin

About Fallin

Fallin' is a song written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield that was recorded by Connie Francis on 2 September 1958 at Metropolitan Studio (NYC) in a session produced by Morton "Morty" Kraft who also conducted. The same team had been responsible for Francis' precedent single "Stupid Cupid" which had returned Francis to the Top 20 after the disappointing #36 peak of "I'm Sorry I Made You Cry" the followup to her breakout hit "Who's Sorry Now?". "Fallin'" was an upbeat rock and roll song in the same vein as "Stupid Cupid" but failed to approach its success peaking at #30. Francis recalls Bobby Darin telling her "on 'Stupid Cupid' you were yourself – now [on "Fallin'"] you're imitating me and it's not going to make it big. It's not a Top Ten hit." Francis adds: "And the lyrics were too sexy for then." [1] The B-side of "Fallin'" was "Happy Days and Lonely Nights", a signature song of torch song legend Ruth Etting. Francis' version received enough airplay to reach #88 on the Cash Box Best Selling Singles chart. more »

I got to feelin' I'm a'fallin'
Like a star up in the blue,
Like I was fallin' off Niagara
In a paddle-boat canoe
I got to feelin' I'm a'fallin'
And it's all because of you
 
Like I was walkin' on a tightrope,
Swingin' in the breeze,
And though I try to keep my balance
Yeah I weaken in the knees
I got to feelin' I'm a'fallin'
Lover, help me please
 
Like a leaf falls from a branch,
Like a rock-slide avalanche,
Like the rain on a stormy day,
I never thought I'd fall this way
 
I thought that love could never touch me,
Yeah I was ridin' high
And then my ivory tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
I got to feelin' I'm a'fallin'
You're the reason why
 
Like Goliath when he met his foe,
Like the walls of Jericho,
Like Delilah's home in town
When Samson tore it down
 
I thought that love could never touch me,
Yeah I was ridin' high
And then my ivory tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
I got to feelin' I'm a'fallin'
And you're the reason why,
Uh you're the reason why,
Yeah you're the reason why,
Baby, lover you're the reason why
Yeah you're the reason why,
Uh you're lover you're the reason why
