"I Fall to Pieces" is a single released by Patsy Cline in 1961, and was featured on her 1961 studio album, Patsy Cline Showcase. "I Fall to Pieces" was Cline's first #1 hit on the Country charts, and her second hit single to cross over onto the Pop charts. It was the first of a string of songs that were written by Hank Cochran and Harlan Howard (not always collaborating) for Cline.
"I Fall to Pieces" became one of Cline's most-recognizable hit singles. It has also been classified as a country music standard.
Writing and recording
Hank Cochran and Harlan Howard met in California, and became songwriting partners. One night, Cochran was mulling over song ideas, when he thought of a title, "I Fall to Pieces." Cochran met up with Howard at his house the next day, where they finished writing the song. The demo version of the song was recorded at Pamper Music in Goodlettsville, Tennessee by Howard's wife, country singer Jan Howard. Harlan Howard pitched the song to Decca producer Owen Bradley, who tried to find the right artist to record it. The song was turned down numerous times, first by Brenda Lee, who found the song "too country" for her pop style. Bradley then asked rising country star Roy Drusky to record it but he turned it down stating that it's not a man's song.

I fall to pieces Each time I see you again I fall to pieces How can I be just your friend You want me to act Like we've never kissed You want me to forget Pretend we've never met And I try and I try But I haven't yet You walk by and I fall to pieces solo I fall to pieces Each time someone speaks your name I fall to pieces Time only adds to the pain You tell me to find someone else to love Someone who loves me too The way you used to do But each time I go out with someone new
