I'm Falling in Love Tonight
Words & Music: Don Robertson
I'm falling in love, tonight
Somehow, I know
The beautiful world tonight
Is sharing, it's glow
When love let me down before
I said I was through
But I'm falling in love tonight
With you
'till you walked by
I laughed and played the game
One last kiss, then goodbye
And out went the flame
But somehow, you've changed me dear
This time, it's true
I'm falling in love tonight
With you
Recorded: 1962/09/22, first released on It Happened at the World's Fair
Reactions
I really like the song. Organ doesn't bother me. 4 stars. From one of my fave soundtrack LPs. 4 stars.
The song that leads off side 2 of the soundtrack album, "It Happened at the World's Fair", the shortest album I think he ever released as far as time. This song, if it weren't for the tacky organ, I think would really be much, much better. It sticks in my mind. I like it.
A lovely little ballad, so well sung! When you take a look at the list that ElvisSacramento made up, it surely makes a great playlist. Elvis did very well with Don Robertson's songs!
The organ sounds corny, but the song is lovely and Elvis sounds great. The organ is probably played by Robertson himself, although Dudley Brooks also played organ on the session.
This is such a beautiful ballad and it's from my second most favorite Elvis movie "It Happened At The World's Fair". The other thirteen songs that Elvis recorded that were written by Don Robertson are "Anything That's Part Of You", "I Met Her Today", "I Really Don't Want To Know", "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here", "I'm Counting On You", "I'm Yours", "Love Me Tonight", "Marguerita", "No More", "Starting Today", "There's Always Me", "They Remind Me Too Much Of You" and "What Now, What Next, Where To".
I like this ballad a lot with the organ, and the overall intimate feel that is emitted, and rate this the second best offering from the film. It is even better when one adds echo
A second tier ballad from the movie "It Happened At The World's Fair" that was actually a fan favorite at the time. This song is not as good as the other two ballads from this movie, "World Of Our Own" and "They Remind Me Too Much Of You", but it is still pleasant.
