Shall We Just Fall in Love

要相爱吗？
1960 Velvet Lounge Bossa Nova Edition

这首有花时间、精力和算力在押韵，唱起来特别顺。

Shall we just fall in love?
I happen to have a few hours to spare.

You ask me how I’m doing now,
I smile and say I’m fine.
But waking in the dark somehow,
I trace the unsent line.

The coffee hasn't lost its heat,
The rain falls softly on the street.
You leave your umbrella by the door,
An answer lingering for a moment more.

We left our childhood far behind,
No need to promise me the moon.
But since the wind is softly kind,
I won't be heading homeward soon.

Shall we just fall in love?
I happen to have a few hours to spare.
I'll walk with you along the street,
And hear the thoughts you dare not meet.

So let us fall in love right now,
Without an alibi or vow.
And let this afternoon just be,
A poem written, wild and free.

So let us fall in love and see,
A few short hours is a truth we share.
Shall we just fall in love?
'Cause loneliness is just as dull to bear.

You say "forever" is a heavy weight,
I say "tomorrow" isn't light.
We stir our silences into our fate,
And sip a bit of youth tonight.

The city streets are wound too tight,
The people hurry on their feet.
But when you smile into the light,
The world slows down by half a beat.

Life has worn us both down to the core,
We learned that tenderness is softly spoken.
But that warm flicker in your eyes once more,
Lands right upon the places I am broken.

Shall we just fall in love?
I happen to have a few hours to burn.
I'll put my buzzing phone away,
And waste reality at every turn.

So let us fall in love right now,
No future, no address to make.
Let this afternoon allow,
A beautiful and sweet mistake.

If before the fading light,
You suddenly decide to stray.
I will not hold you in my sight,
Or reach my hand to make you stay.

But many years from now, my dear,
On a mundane and quiet day.
Will you remember, crystal clear,
That someone spoke to you this way?

So let us fall in love anew,
I’m not so sure of what is known.
But on this day, I promise you,
I just don't want to be alone.

Shall we just fall in love?
I happen to have a few hours to spare.
I'll take this broken heart to dance,
And leave the rest of it to chance.

So let us fall in love,
Not for always, but pure and true.
Let today's soft music blend,
And play our lonely bossa nova through.

Shall we just fall in love?
I happen to have a few hours to spare.

If you are willing, let it be,
And start with coffee, you and me.

So let us fall in love.
