I Won't Let You Fall
Foy Vance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, you never were the one to say you need something
Always done your worry on your own
Then I came along and got you to wondering
Could I be the one to be the song?

When you need me, darling (need me)
Your back′s up against the wall
All you do is call
All you do is call
When you need me, darling (need me)
To help you through it all
I won't let you fall
No, I won′t let you fall

Lately, I've been thinking 'bout time and how it used to feel
When it was mine all mine, and all day long
Now if ever you are alone and you need a heart to steal
I′ll be here to listen on the phone

When you need me, darling (need me)
Your back′s up against the wall
All you do is call
All you do is call
When you need me, darling (need me)
To help you through it all
I won't let you fall
No, I won′t let you fall

When you need me, darling (need me, darling)
Your back's up against the wall
All you do is call
All you do is call
When you need me, darling (need me, darling)
To help you through it all




I won′t let you fall
No, I won't let you fall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Won't Let You Fall" by Foy Vance convey a message of support and reassurance to a loved one who may be going through a difficult time. The opening lines suggest that the person the song is directed to is typically self-sufficient and independent, but Foy sees something in them that makes him believe they could benefit from his help. He assures this person that they can lean on him if they ever need support, even if they are hesitant to ask for it directly.


The chorus emphasizes the promise of help and support, stating that the person in question only needs to call for assistance in order to receive it. The repetition of this idea underscores the message of the song: that no matter how tough things get, the listener can count on Foy to be there.


The final verse ties the promise of support to the passage of time, highlighting how things can and will change. Foy asserts that while in the past he had more control over his life, he is now happy to be available for the person he cares about. Regardless of the time or circumstances, however, he will always make himself available to listen and help in any way he can.

Man...I’ll tell you a little story and say thanks. My ‘other’ mom is dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease. She’s in late stages and can’t move her body now. She’s one of the biggest music fans I’ve ever known and chose soundtracks for various surf films over the years. I laid down next to her in bed today and played this. She sobbed like she was returning home. Thank you for this gift of a song to us. I so appreciate it. 🙏🏽

@melanierand4374

Sending prayers and blessings 🙏🙏

@thepatshowonwp

God is good all the time. Blessings to you both.🙏
