Fallin' with Teri de Sario

I have always been a fan of the song, Fallin'. This song was originally sung in the musical production of "They're Playing our Song" and the original singer was Robert Klein, whose version is also very popular. But the female version is just as popular and is getting more airplay in local sentimental-centric radio stations like 94.7 Mellow Touch and 96.3 W-Rock.
I was happy to find out that Ms. Teri de Sario, the singer of the female version, recorded the song again in a special album released just in the Philippines. This was to promote her concert with Joe Pizzulo. Unfortunately, I was not able to watch the said event, though some of my friends were able to watch it at the Araneta Coliseum. They were even able to sit slightly closer to the stage as their ticket of General Admission was converted to Upper Box B.
The new album consists of 5 songs. 4 of the songs are old hits of Ms. de Sario while the 5th song, "I'll Always Love You", is a new song dedicated to her husband. The album is such a delight to listen to. The new Fallin' version reveals a more mature voice of Ms. de Sario, but the same power of her voice, and magic of the song is there. My mom became an instant of fan of Teri de Sario, as she listens to the album before retiring to bed.

For sentimental reasons, I am including the lyrics of the song :

Fallin'

I'm afraid to fly
And I don't know why
I'm jealous of the people who
are not afraid to die

It's just that I recall
Back when I was small
Someone promised that they'd catch me
and then they let me fall

And now I'm fallin'
fallin' fast again
Why do I always take a fall
when I fall in love

You'd think by now I'd learned
Play with fire you get burned
But fire can be also warm
that's why I return

Turn and walk away
That's what I should do
My head says go and find the door
My heart says I found you

And now I'm fallin'
fallin' fast again
Why do I always take a fall
when I fall in love

It always turns out the same
Loving someone losing myself
Only got me to blame

Help me, I'm fallin', fallin'
catch me if you can
Maybe this time I'll have it all
Maybe I'll make it after all
maybe this time i won't fall
when i fall in love ...oooh...ooh
