Michael Jackson – Fall Again (Demo)

This is a song that Michael planned to complete and include on his 2001 album, Invincible, but when his son Prince was taken ill he didn’t have time to finish it and it didn’t make the album.

"We worked to the point that we were three-fourths of the way finished." confirmed Walter Afanasieff in January 2000, "then the incident happened when his son got very sick. We’re going to have to reserve a little spot to finish the song."

A demo version, recorded in 1999, was released in November 2004 as one of the previously unreleased tracks on The Ultimate Collection box-set.

It was also recorded by neo-soul singer Glenn Lewis – his version featured on the soundtrack album, Maid In Manhatten, issued in late 2002.

Fall Again – Lyrics

Feels like a fire that burns in my heart
Every single moment that we spend apart
I need you around for every day to start
I haven’t left you alone
There’s something about you, I stare in your eyes
And everything I’m looking for I seem to find
All this time away is killing me inside
I need your love in my life

I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall with you again
Like we did when we first met
I wanna fall with you again

We fought in a battle, nobody won
And left ourselves a mountain to be overcome
You can’t run away, the past is said and done
I need us to carry on

I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall with you again
Like we did when we first met
I wanna fall with you again

You’ll try everything you never thought of before
When you live, when you love, and you give them your all
You can always give up some more
Nothing means anything unless you’re here with me
I can breathe, I can bleed, I can die in my sleep
Cause you’re always there in my dreams

I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall with you again
Like we did when we first met
I wanna fall with you again

I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall with you again
Like we did when we first met
I wanna fall with you again
