Before I Fall Copyright by Charles V. Hayden (verse 1) Well I know this isn’t easy for you We started out walkin' side by side Along our journey to a better love A love that shines from deep inside (verse 2 But you arrived ahead of me And you may think you're wastin' your time But honey there's one thing I want you to know I feel my heart's not too far behind (chorus) Cause I can feel the ground gettin' softer It's starting to shift And as I step ever closer I hear love's call The walls are crumblin' all around me I might give in Will you love me forever I need to know before I fall (verse 3) As I remember past boyfriends in my life I built a fortress around my heart But you love me for who I am And you have touched my deepest part (chorus) And I can feel the ground gettin' softer It's starting to shift And as I step ever closer I hear love's call The walls are crumblin' all around me I might give in Will you love me forever I need to know before I fall (tag) Will you love me forever I need to know before I fall

I Blame You By Charles V. Hayden I should have known this would happen to me When we sat on that front porch Your blazing blue eyes cutting through my walls Like the flames of a welder's torch (pre chorus) We talked til dawn that summer night And drank ice tea under starlight (chorus) I blame you for this silly grin on my face I blame you for wearing that red negligee I blame you for our midnight rendezvous For all the fun you put me through I blame you (verse 2) It was blue jeans boots and dancing Summer drives with the top down Your hugs and kisses in the rain Has turned my love around (pre chorus) We talked til dawn that summer night And drank ice tea under starlight (chorus) I blame you for this silly grin on my face I blame you for wearing that red negligee I blame you for our midnight rendezvous For all the fun you put me through I blame you (bridge) Since I met you my life has become A ride on a ferris wheel And girl I’m not responsible For the way you make me feel (chorus) I blame you for this silly grin on my face I blame you for wearing that red negligee I blame you for our midnight rendezvous For all the fun you put me through I blame you (Outro) For all the fun you put me through I blame you
