IF I FELL
(Lennon-McCartney)
1964


In the film A Hard Day's Night, there deliberately being no romantic 
interest for any of the Beatles, John sings this gentle love song to Ringo!  
The scene had to be shot a number of times as the band regularly broke down 
in fits of laughter.



If I fell in love with you would you promise to be true
And help me understand
'Cause I've been in love before and I found that love was more
Than just holding hands



If I give my heart to you I must be sure
From the very start that you would love me more than her



If I trust in you oh please don't run and hide
If I love you too oh please don't hurt my pride like her
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain



So I hope you see that I would love to love you
And that she will cry when she learns we are two
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be said if our new love was in vain



So I hope you see that I would love to love you
And that she will cry when she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you
