When Did I Fall in Love? - Audra McDonald

When did respect first become affection?

When did affection suddenly soar?

What a strange and beautiful touch

That I love him so much, when I didn’t before

When did I fall in love?

What night?

Which day?

When did I first begin to feel this way?

How could the moment pass unfelt, ignored?

Where was the blinding flash?

Where was the crashing chord?

When did I fall in love?

I can’t recall

Not that it matters at all

It doesn’t matter when, or why, or how

As long as I love him now

Out of the house ten seconds, and I miss him

I miss him more with each goodbye

Out of the house ten seconds, and I miss him

And no one’s more astonished than I

I never once pretended that I love him

When did it start, this change of heart?

When did I fall in love?

What night?

Which day?

When did I first begin to feel this way?

How could the moment pass unfelt, ignored?

Where was the blinding flash?

Where was the crashing chord?

When did I fall in love?

I can’t recall

Not that it matters at all

It doesn’t matter when, or why, or how

As long as I love him now
