[Verse 1]
Shattered dreams
Worthless years
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell
Life began
Then was done
Now I stare into a cold and empty well

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The many sounds that meet our ears
The sights our eyes behold
Will open up our merging hearts
And feed our empty souls

[Chorus 1]
I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time
It will be forever

[Verse 2]
Without despair
We will share
And the joys of caring will not be replaced
What has been
Must never end
And with the strength we have won't be erased

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When the truths of love are planted firm
They won't be hard to find
And the words of love I speak to you
Will echo in my mind

Mm

[Chorus 3]
I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time
It will be forever

Ever, ever, ever, ever
Ow!

I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever

I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
(I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again)
I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
(I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again)
I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
(I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again)
I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
(I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again)

I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
(I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again)
I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
(I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again)
I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
(I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again)
I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
(I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again)

I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
(I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again)
I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever
(I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again)

["Let's fall in love" part until fade-out]
Come on, let's fall in love
You're the woman I've been waiting for
Come on, let's fall in love
You're the girl that I really adore

Come on, let's fall in love
(Don't you wanna, don't you wanna, don't you wanna fall in love with me?)
Come on, baby, let's fall in love
Come on, let's fall in love
(Don't you wanna, don't you wanna, don't you wanna fall in love with me?)
You're the baby I've been thinking for
Yeah, oh yeah, uh-uh
(Don't you wanna, don't you wanna, don't you wanna fall in love with me?)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
(Don't you wanna, don't you wanna, don't you wanna fall in love with me?)

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
