When I Fall in Love
Céline Dion and Clive Griffin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
(Oh, let me give my heart)
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too (I feel that way too)
Is when I'll fall in love (I'll fall in love)
With you
When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
Oh, I'll never, 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 (I'll never give) my heart
(Oh, I'll never give my heart)
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love
When I fall in love
When I fall in love with you
The opening lyrics of Celine Dion and Clive Griffin's rendition of When I Fall In Love sets a relatable premise for a love song. The lyrics suggest an authentic yearning for everlasting love. The first verse chronicles the turbulence of a fast-paced world, where love fades quickly. The second verse, identical to the first, and the chorus reiterates the sentiment of the desire for undying love.
Celine Dion & Clive Griffin's duet conveys the theme of an age-old dilemma in love, where true love is hard to find, and when it's found, it's often fleeting, yet still worth the risk of opening up one's heart to love. The song's pacing is calm and deliberate, with the string section soaring in the background. Both Dion and Griffin's voice blends incredibly well, conveying a genuine passion for the words they sing.
The song has become a classic and embodies the essence of romantic music for countless listeners. Despite being one of the most covered songs in history, the voices of Dion and Griffin give it new life, much like Nat King Cole's original 1956 version. The chord progression and melody are simple, but the emotions behind the delivery are powerful. When I Fall In Love is a timeless love song that expresses an age-old human longing, making it resonate even today.
