What If We Fall in Love is the only duet album by American country music artists Crystal Gayle and Gary Morris, released in November 1986. Three of the album's tracks found positions on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. Chronologically, they were "Makin' Up for Lost Time", which reached the number 1 position, "Another World", which was a number 4 hit, and "All of This and More", which rose to number 26. The album itself rose to number 25 on the Top Country Albums chart.
