I Haven't Fallen

I haven't fallen in love yet, but I'm getting there
She whispered in French as her long dark hair
Had fallen over her shoulder in the dark December night
In the shadows and the neon, she held on to me so tight

I can see the moon above the sycamore tree
The clouds painted on the night looks like a far away sea
The darkness of her eyes stares deep into mine
I only stood there for a second; it felt like such a long time

       Je n'irais pas jusqu' à dire que je t'aime mais je suis prêt

The fireworks lit the ocean; we sat out on the beach
You disappeared for a while; you were out of my reach
Boats sail on the horizon, black castle
