Lyrics

When you fall,

there are an gels there to catch you when you fall.

There’s a (Fmaj7)Sav ior who can hear you when you call,

When you cry

has been shat tered by the storm and torn a part,

and you (F)won der, when will the heal ing ev er start

for your heart?

Don’t you know

that He (Gm11)loves you too much to ev er let you go?

And the (Fmaj7)storm is there to on ly help you (Bbmaj13)grow.

He loves you so,

when you fall.

When your heart

and you can not fig ure out the rea sons why,

know that (F)weep der, ing on ly en dures for a night

when you cry.

When you fall,

know that (Gm11)God you will nev er take His love a way.

He is (Fmaj7)faith ful to His peo ple, come what (Bbmaj13)may,

He hear me say,

when you fall.

When your heart

When you fall,

(Dm)Oh,

oh, (C#dim7)oh.

(Dm)Oh,

oh, oh.

Don’t you know

that He (Gm11)loves you too much to ev er let you go?

And the (Fmaj7)storm is there to on ly help you grow,

He loves you so,

when you fall,

when you fall,

when you fall.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "When You Fall" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 75 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
