Kris Allen sings “Falling Slowly” by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova from the “Once” movie soundtrack in this American Idol movie song video clip. Kris did an excellent job and it was nice to hear something from a more recent movie soundtrack.

The “Falling Slowly” lyrics are beautiful and Kris sounded really great. Here are the lyrics:

I don’t know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing along
