Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is an adult contemporary singer and songwriter. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold On to the Nights." Although most of his successful songs were slow ballads like these, many of his songs had an upbeat, classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait for the Sunrise." Marx placed himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the US charts. Marx was born to Dick and Ruth Marx. Marx grew up in a mixed faith household where father was Jewish and his mother was a Christian. His father was a jingle writer for commercials, which is where Marx got his start writing at the tender age of five.

Falling Lyrics

Richard Marx

I've got a secret
That I think I'm ready to share
It may bring us closer
It may be a burden to bear

It's precious and it's real
And all that I can feel

Chorus:
Is that I'm falling
As deep as any ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and eternally for you

You are a beacon
Revealing the places I hide
You've given freedom
To so much that I kept inside

And with one look in my eyes
It can't be a surprise

Chorus:
That I am falling
As deep as any ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and eternally for you

Now there's no darkness
My truth laid open and bare
It's in my flesh and bones
Yeah it's everywhere

Chorus:
That I am falling
As deep as any ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
Like rays that come from heaven
Bathed in your reflection
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and eternally for you
