When I Fall In Love
Astley Rick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel
That you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

And the moment I can feel




That you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you
