Downing has released many albums throughout his career, always on the brink of stardom but never quite making it. In 1989 he released Come Together As One and in '91, Dream Fulfilled. The latter featured the single "I Try" which reached #13 on the R&B charts, Downing's best performance to date.
1993 saw Downing's fourth album release with Love's the Place to Be. In 1995, he released Moods and in 1997, Invitation Only. Continuing his steady stream of releases, 1998 saw Pleasures of the Night, 2000 offered All the Man You Need and in 2002, Sensual Journey.
With so many albums under his belt, Downing never slows down, releasing Emotions in 2003, Christmas, Love and You in 2004 and Soul Symphony in 2005.
While Will Downing has never been a massive celebrity in the United States, he has seen reasonable success in the United Kingdom.

Will Downing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once again
It's happening
What can I do?
Though I try real hard
I can't resist
Your tenderness
Keeps drawing me closer to you
You touch my face
And how you speak and call my name
Let's me know that there's no need to fear
You always here
And I'm falling babe yeah!
Feeling a spark deep inside of my heart and I want you babe
I'm falling in love with you
Starting a fire of burning desire yes I'm falling babe
I'm falling in love with you
Feeling as high as the stars in the sky when I'm with you babe
I'm falling in love with you
I'm falling
Falling in love
Be still my heart
Don't beat too fast
I feel like I'm gonna loose control
I'm not usually the one that's so emotional
And feeling the way that I do
So suddenly
She captured me
She stole my heart and won't let go
But it feels so good to finally see
What love can be
And I owe it all to you
Feeling you smile deep inside of my heart and I want you babe
I'm falling in love with you
Starting a fire of burning desire yes I'm falling babe
I'm falling in love with you
Feeling as high as the stars in the sky when I'm with you babe
I'm falling in love with you yeah!
Falling in love
I'm trying to speak
Straight from my heart
So much to say
I don't know where to start
All I know is that
I'm crazy, crazy for you
You're that special someone
Right out of my dreams
You opened my eyes
You made me believe
I could fall in love with you
Feeling you smile deep inside of my heart and I want you babe
I'm falling in love with you
Starting a fire of burning desire yes I'm falling babe
I'm falling in love
Feeling as high as the stars in the sky when I'm with you babe
Oh! I'm falling, falling falling falling yeah!
Falling in love
Oh! Yeh! Yeh! I'm falling in love with you
I'm falling in love babe
Yeh

I'm falling in love
I'm falling in love with you
Yeh Yeh!

Here I go
Starting to fall in love again
Once again

Unable to fight it
Though I try real hard
Despite my efforts
I can't resist
I'm giving into my feelings

Don't beat too fast
Heart racing with excitement

Losing composure due to overwhelming emotions
I'm not usually the one that's so emotional
Not accustomed to being so sentimental
And feeling the way that I do
Experiencing intense emotions
So suddenly
Unexpectedly
She captured me
You have my heart completely
She stole my heart and won't let go
You've taken hold of my heart and won't let it go
But it feels so good to finally see
Realizing how great love can be
What love can be
Understanding the true nature of love
And I owe it all to you
Thankful for the love and affection given by you
I'm trying to speak
Attempting to express how I feel
Straight from my heart
Expressing genuine emotions
So much to say
Having a lot to communicate
I don't know where to start
Not sure how to begin communicating my emotions
All I know is that
One thing is certain
I'm crazy, crazy for you
Having overwhelming feelings of love for you
You're that special someone
You're the one I've been looking for
Right out of my dreams
Like a dream come true
You opened my eyes
You helped me realize the truth about love
You made me believe
You instilled hope and faith in me
I could fall in love with you
Realizing that I have fallen in love with you
Oh! I'm falling, falling falling falling yeah!
Completely engulfed in the feeling of falling in love
I'm falling in love with you yeah!
Falling in love with you more and more
I'm falling in love with you
Declaring love and affection
