Let's Fall in Love
Eddy Duchin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing - I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental - alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stalling, I am falling, love is calling - why be shy
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love

The singer urges the listener to join him in taking a chance on love, reminding us that our hearts are made for it.
