Somewhere Someone's Falling in Love
Loretta Lynn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the moon and the stars up above
There's a warm summer breeze
Blowing down through the trees
And somewhere someone's falling in love
Well, if this world where we live is the only one we have
Then there's only one thing I'm thinking of
Let's go for that ride - keep our eyes open wide
You may be looking for someone
Someone may be looking for you
Someday you'll awaken and open your eyes
And love will be looking at you.
So don't get down on yourself.
No and don't lose your faith
Believe these words that I'm singing of
For as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling in love
You may be looking for someone
Someone may be looking for you
Someday you'll awaken and open your eyes
And love will be looking at you.
So don't get down on yourself.
No, and don't lose your faith
Believe these words that I'm singing of
For as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling in love
Yeah, for as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling.
Somewhere someone's falling.
Somewhere someone's falling in love.
