When I Fall In Love
Celine Deon and Julio Iglesias 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

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "When I Fall in Love" is an exploration of what love should be for someone who is cautious about giving away their heart. The song describes how love is a complicated emotion that requires a significant amount of trust and vulnerability. The verse "When I fall in love, it will be forever or I'll never fall in love" sets the tone for the song, indicating that the singer doesn't take love lightly and will only give their heart to a person who they believe feels the same way.


The next verse, "In a restless world like this is, love is ended before it's begun" explores the challenges and uncertainties that come with modern-day relationships. With so many distractions, it's easy to lose sight of what really matters, and the moment could be missed. The line "too many moonlight kisses seem to cool in the warmth of the sun" suggests that things can start off beautifully, but if they go on for too long, the intensity fades away.


The last section of the song emphasises the singer's resolve only to fall in love when they can see that the other person reciprocates their feelings. "When I give my heart, it will be completely, or I'll never give my heart," is an important line that highlights the fact that the person singing is not a casual lover. They require a deep emotional connection before they will allow themselves to be vulnerable. When the object of their affection finally shows that they feel the same way, that's when the magic happens, resulting in the classic line "Is when I fall in love with you."
