Story Behind The Song
The impact of love -- even young love -- is that some lasting emotion lives on though lovers are apart. I like to think that the young man may wake up one day and come back to her, but reality also suggests that -- by the time he does -- her heart will no longer be available.
Song Description
Tears flow when the singer thinks of this lost love, but she still prays for his return. The implication is that her love was young and innocent, but his was more mature and fleeting. Whether he comes back is left to the listener's imagination.

Lyrics
I FELL IN LOVE
I fell in love one summer night
I was so happy, 'cause everything was so right
But now you've gone and left me all alone
You went away
You said we'd have to part
But I knew all along
You'd always be in my heart
And I'll always always love you, come what may
When I think of you, darling,
The tears begin to flow
I'm so lonely, dear, without you
Oh, why did you, why did you, why did you have to go?
I pray to the Lord above
To send home the boy I love
When he comes back to me
It will be like it used to be
'Til then I pray, "Oh God, dear God, hear my plea,
Please send him back to me."
