As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW:
I'm flyin' high
But I got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you
You caught my eye
And I got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Show me the ring and I'll jump right through
I used to travel single
We chanced to mingle
Oh now, now I'm a-tingle over you
Hey, mister parson, stand by
For I got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you
(Instrumental Break)
Oh, honey, oh honey, I never felt this way
Romantically I'm up in the air
Its funny, so funny, me taking it this way
Don't know if I should, but gee, it feels good
I'm flyin' high up in the sky
But I've got a funny feelin' that I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you
And you know it, too
You caught my eye, baby, that's why
I've got a funny feelin' that I'm fallin'
Show me the ring and, oh boy, I'll take it from you
I used to travel single
Oh, we chanced to mingle
Oh now, now I'm a-tingle over you
Oh, mister parson stand by
Don't leave me now
I've got a feelin' I'm fallin', and how
Fallin'g for nobody else but you
That's all!

As recorded by DINAH WASHINGTON:
I'm flying high,
But I've got a feeling I'm falling,
Falling for nobody else but you, mmmm.
You caught my eye,
And I've a feeling I'm falling,
Show me the ring and I'll jump right through!
I used to travel single, oh!
We chanced to mingle, oh!
Now I'm a-tingle over you!
Hey, Mister Parson, stand by,
For I've got a feeling I'm falling,
Falling, falling in love with you!
