Art Garfunkel - I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever) Lyrics






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
The many sounds that meet our ears, the sights our eyes behold
will open up our merging hearts and feed our empty souls
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

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
When the truths of love are planted firm they're only hard to find
And the words of love I speak to you will echo in my mind
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
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
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

    Man o man, what a great song! No one has a voice like Art has. Such a wonderful talented singer he is! This was one of my favorite albums when i was a teenager back in the late seventies. I would save up my lawn mowing money and ride my bike into town to the local record shop and buy a new one each week. This album was full of great songs so i played it often. What great memories of an incredible era. Art was always extra special.

    I like this version better than the Stevie Wonder's remake. It's a masterpiece.

    Now I stare into a cold and empty well.
    The many sounds that meet our ears,
    The sights our eyes behold,
    Will open up our merging hearts
    And feed our empty souls.

    II 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.

    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.
    When the truths of love are planted firm they're only hard to find,
    And the words of love I speak to you will echo in my mind.

    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.
    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.
    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.
    I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.
    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.
    I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever.

    Sounds like he based this version on Peter Frampton's. Same key.

  10. M.... P....

    It was the Mike & The Mechanics version that introduced me to the song back in 1995. Paul Carrack does a excellent job on that. I think I still prefer that version.

  11. S.... S....

    WAIT, WTH...??? What happen to the "funk" section that suppose to happen at the end???

    Hey Garfunkel! What happened to the funky part?! I mean come on with Funk in your name how could you leave out “The Funky Part”? Lol! Great rendition. The ding is a classic. One of Stevie’s best!

  14. R.... W....

    So many good songs on this album . It’s one of my all time favorites

  15. s.... d....

    The first cut ~ if it's the deepest ~ you could be in for a long haul of grief the rest of your life...... :)

    Remember this on top of the pops 1975, then forgot about it, so glad I've found it now, before I'm to old and have lost the plot x

  19. B.... W....

    Art's solo work is a joy to listen to. Such a Crystal clear vocalist.

  20. A.... L....

    Music that touches one soul

  21. G.... H....

    *It* will be forever

  22. f.... ....

    Such a great song, vocal, arrangement... WOW! Over 40 years later, still listening to this album... I wonder if kids of today will be listening in 40 years to Cascade, DJ Zedd, Aoki and other nonsense. How about in 4 years?

  24. H.... G....

    Superb song lyrically and melodically. It captures the mood of lost love and what could have been.

  25. c.... ....

    What were their names? Simon and Garfunkel. I love these two crazy cats.

  26. M.... S....

    Good memories

  27. C.... R....

    Love Art Garfunkel but this is not a video.

  28. D.... C....

    one on my favourite albums

  29. j.... j....

    Ref to LA's comment,  Lying on a raft in tropical waters, just beyond the breakers with the one you love...

  30. A.... B....

    Paul Simon was the Better writer? Paul Simon was the more Popular writer who mostly made songs with no message.

    A.... B....

    Stevie Wonder wrote this song. Nice cover, though.

    A.... B....

    David Martin True, but Garfunkle could write better.

  31. J.... D....

    Can't figure out why this song wasn't released as a single.

    J.... D....

    It was...I have it on a 45 vinyl!

  32. C.... W....

    Sheer Perfection!

  33. P.... R....

    Esse é o álbum que você coloca pra ouvir sem pular uma música sequer, e se ouvir de novo, ele não enjoa!!!!

  34. A.... L....

    I never knew he didn't wrote his own words

  35. S.... B....

    i love this song ive just played this to my girl friend and she loves it so much thank you for this ,lovely arrangement one of there best songs of all times

  36. M.... I....

    What a beautiful song. It takes you to a wonderful place. Sure sad that in this era the music greats of yesteryear are given no love by the industry.

  37. M.... R....

    My mom had this album back in the '70s and she listened to it often.  I was maybe 10 years at the time and probably listened to it as much as she did.  She passed in 2006 and hearing this song takes me right back to those times of her putting the record on the turntable and being a kid again.  This song will always have a special place in me.

    M.... R....

    Michael Rondinelli god bless

  38. J.... F....

    WE NEED THIS MUSIC IN OUR TROUBLED WORLD
    THANK YOU

  39. j.... ....

    There is something so heartbreaking of how Art sings this song as compared to Stevie. Having said that this is absolutely Stevie's song.

  40. s.... i....

    love it . fuck paul.

  41. G.... ....

    Ok. I prefer Stevie Wonder's version better.

    G.... ....

    I'm in love with Art .
    his smile and twinkle eyes .....
    his singing melts my heart
    and such harmony with Paul
    (Brenda ) xx

    So beautiful 1975 .

  49. E.... O....

    Timeless, LOVE is forever.

  50. a.... m....

    beautiful, a large scotch turn the lights down and lie back

  51. a.... m....

    beautiful !

  52. G.... P....

    what a wonderful album... Qué recuerdos me trae

  53. D.... C....

    Oh wow, such memories. This is the soundtrack of my early life.

  54. a.... S....

    what the HELL there are just 666 thumbs up!

    a.... S....

    Sorry, meant to do it earlier.

    a.... S....

    Fate for Breakfast is another of Art's great albums

    a.... S....

    It's a great title, anyway, though I don't think I've heard it. Thanks for the 411 !!

  55. M.... P....

    if there is one man who can truly smash a stevie wonder song or any other song it is this man, Arts voice is haunting, will love this song until the day i die

  56. q.... ....

    Didn't know what to expect when he came out with this solo album but after I had heard it I knew I would always love it and I do.

  57. H.... S....

    Dont argue . Just listen and love it Geoff accy

  58. S.... B....

    You two men made my childhood, God bless you both

  59. t.... ....

    great album for sure.  who at the time realized the album cover picture was Art and two drag queens?

    t.... ....

    Um, nobody realized it because that's not true. Where did you even get that info, tearmann? Oh well, on Art's site (as well as other places), here is the REAL story if anyone is interested:
    "On the cover of the album, the woman to Art's left is Laurie Bird. Laurie would become very close to Art for several years until her untimely death in 1979. See Breakaway Interview with Art Garfunkel and Richard Perry discussing the evolution of the Breakaway album. The album attained Platinum certification."

  60. C.... L....

    Love Art: his name turned out to be my nickname in highschool because of my creative side, but based on a talented man like this, l always took it as a compliment. Long live great music.

  61. A.... P....

    love this song forever

  62. t.... ....

    What a great song and singer

  63. T.... B....

    Did Garfunkel write any songs?  He's a brilliant poet, but I'm not sure he ever wrote a song.  Strange.

    T.... B....

    +Tim Boehme He did contribute bits and pieces of the classic Simon & Garfunkel songs, and the album *Everything Waits to be Noticed* is mostly songs (co-)written by Art.

    T.... B....

    With a voice as pure as his, Tim, why should he waste his time writing songs?

  64. K.... S....

    i listened to this album exclusively for months... one of my favorite albums of all time.

    K.... S....

    +Kim Story Same here. I needed to listen to it again this morning. Could never find the CD.

  65. L.... W....

    The old days, so innocent **

    L.... W....

    hhmmm … quite a lot of cocaine floating about back then tho….

    L.... W....

    @Mattie Mclean nope. Hated it.

  66. l.... ....

    1980, a dark, smoky room, student days, massive loudspeakers - listening to this on my friends brilliant AIWA AD-M700 three-head professional casette deck - awe inspiring sound that I will never forget.

    l.... ....

    @lewstone1934

    I know it's 3 years later, but just had to comment. Perhaps in '76 I had purchased the Aiwa AD-1250, the consumer deck with the slanted top/front. Remember that Chromium tapes were so expensive then--this deck had a compromise setting--FeCr. Loved that deck and recorded much of my friends' collections as records were no bargains back then, either.

    l.... ....

    I can only imagine

  67. s.... ....

    What happens when one of the greatest songwriters (Stevie Wonder) and one of the greatest producers (Richard Perry) join one of the greatest vocalists of our time (Art Garfunkel)?  The answer:  One of the best recordings ever created.

    s.... ....

    also Doug Sax as Mastering Engineer.

    s.... ....

    You got that comment spot on!

  68. V.... P....

    I agree with Josie Ouiri. Sometimes his voice is difficult to make out as he is frequentally drowned out.
    Josh Groban's version is worse.

  69. J.... ....

    I actually love the "over produced" aspect of his music.  Overlapping vocals, strong backgrounds..   Simon and Garfunkel used many of the same over produced techniques and it creates such a rich "soundscape."    I love it!!

    J.... ....

    +winterdesert1 The production on the whole Breakaway album is exceptional. I don't think 'Romance' is a dirty word either....just beautiful

  70. C.... ....

    Beautifully written, arranged, produced and sung Stevie Wonder-Yvonne Wright  penned song!

    C.... ....

    Richard Perry.

  71. f.... ....

    After hearing Stevie's version this take by Art is surely one the best too. What a voice !

  72. F.... B....

    I love Art but does any one agree with me that so much of his out-put is 'over produced?' There are times when his voice is overwhelmed with production values...why??

    F.... B....

    @Frank Burns so true.... with a voice like that, it needed to be focal... there really didn't need much else at all.

    F.... B....

    I agree with you. I've been a fan for years but always they 'over produce' him.You can barely hear the vocals at all some times...and such a beautiful voice.

    F.... B....

    Richard Perry perfection. You think too much. Go to sleep now. Perhaps tomorrow you won't be so stupid.

  73. t.... m....

    My favourite Art Garfunkel song -I Believe (when I fall in love )

    t.... m....

    I was looking for the song with 'Disney girls,' but I guess this'll do.

  74. A.... ....

    Rusty, to Mark, to Jim, to James, to .. . doesn't matter~~~~~

  75. A.... ....

    I'm not sure if I'm in the shell, outside the shell, or looking at the shell... but I believe!

    A.... ....

    @AlistinaLayne or you may be the shell. i believe.

  76. L.... A....

    I shared this beautiful track in my early G+ days - it is such a strong rhythm ballad of unbreakable love with fantastic arrangement and production - love Arts voice......

    L.... A....

    Nice one. Thanks. :)

    L.... A....

    @Pat Allen You are welcome Pat :)

    L.... A....

    G+ days - google+ days? Not sure if that is pre or post salad days :) Nice song though with rousing string backing.

    L.... A....

    @Old Blue Yes Old Blue I love the string backing - I could listen to this song and that man's voice over and over sigh ....

  77. P.... K....

    Andrew Gold on guitar 

    P.... K....

    +PAVIA Kristiansen And Pete Carr

  78. F.... H....

    forever love what a tonic for love

  79. C.... L....

    Probobly the best cover ever.

    C.... L....

    I mean this version is better than Stevie's original imho.

  80. R.... W....

    Stevie's wonderful composition beautifully rendered by another top-notch vocalist.

  81. D.... B....

    He adds a purity to anything he does...he brings out the soul of the song....Art is a good name for him!  He produces and helps with all aspects, too..I think he is Sunsign Taurus..ruled by Venus (harmony/beauty), quite obvious!

  82. t.... t....

    So very beautiful.

  83. L.... A....

    The most angelic voice - the arrangement and production is fantastic - it's like riding on the crest of a wave that rises and falls over and over carrying the listener with it. Art has that acute sensitivity as a vocalist to do justice to the song - love it!

    L.... A....

    LA you have hit the nail on the head in your original comment, like poetry.  This whole album is that way, in fact all of his solo recordings are magnificent,music to relax by.  

    L.... A....

    @william blanc Thank you William - what a lovely comment. You are so right about his solo recordings they are magnificent.

    L.... A....

    Lorraine Ashby i think so

    L.... A....

    I love his voice:-)

    L.... A....

    Lorraine Ashby - i just close my eyes and I let Art’s voice take me on a wave of euphoria and tranquility. His voice is pure and natural.

  84. r.... ....

    How could anyone dislike this song?????????Obviously 5 people are deaf as a post; thats the only reason anyone could have for disliking this; the fact that they cannot hear it.

    r.... ....

    Maybe they like Stevie's version better but we're splitting hairs here.

  85. r.... ....

    You know, the words "epic" and "awesome" are much overused and misplaced, but they describe this song perfectly;makes me cry this song. Its so beautiful.

    r.... ....

    This song was a Stevie Wonder tune, co-written and performed.

    r.... ....

    @william blanc
    I  know that; but Arts voice makes this, its stunning.

  86. R.... J....

    I've got this album,what the hell is wrong with radio?this is a steller!

    R.... J....

    Too diverse perhaps. It did get airplay in the 70s. A little too classy for rock stations. But how cares? It's a masterpiece. One of my desert island discs for sure. Perfect playing, singing production. It's on God's iPod.

  87. M.... ....

    Not only does Art have a wonderful voice, but his albums were so well arranged and produced.  Brings back memories of my first gf.

  88. s.... ....

    fantastic voice.

  89. O.... F....

    great song, great album.
    dude was 72 yesterday!
    hmmm, what's that say about me?
    yikes.

  90. P.... J....

    Hell yeah.

  91. S.... C....

    The whole flippin' album is a masterpiece.

  92. t.... ....

    Josh who

  93. t.... ....

    stevie said it in a interview with rolling stone.

  94. n.... ....

    This and his version of I Only Have Eyes For You are two of the best vocal performances I've ever heard.

  95. T.... A....

    Nice, but God has blessed Stevie Wonder. Thank you God!!

  96. t.... ....

    Best song

  97. e.... h....

    I have always loved this song and comparing it to the new version by Josh Groban (who is one of my favorites!)---this version still rules.

  98. s.... ....

    High Fidelity heck yes!!! Such an awesome song and movie!
