I Fell In Love With You


from the ABC set Smooth Sailing I

I fell in love with you
But never told you so
You were already committed
And I had chosen too.

I fell in love with you
Your voice, your skin, your eyes
My heart wanted to forfeit all
At least they´d be no lies.

I fell in love with you
And knew you understood
But you were not in love with me
Nor saw the likelihood.

I fell in love with you
Though never told you so
Yet maybe, voicelessly, I did--
You were kind and let it flow.

Sometimes I still think of you
Now´s the hour to tell
But the years have passed
And my love has dimmed
Yet I´m sure those eyes still last.
