When I Fall in Love
Celine Dion & Josh Groban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shattered dreams, worthless years
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell
Life began, then was done
Now I stare into a cold and empty well

The many sounds that meet our ears
the sights our eyes behold
Will open up our merging hearts
And feed our empty souls

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

Without despair we will share
And the joys of caring will not be replaced
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have won't be erased
When the truths of love are planted firm
They won't be hard to find
And the words of love I speak to you
will echo in your mind

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

This time

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

And oh that love will call
And if I believe you're the only one for me

I believe, I believe, I believe, when I fall in love, oh
I believe, I believe, I believe, when I fall in love, oh

When I fall

I believe, I believe, I believe, when I fall

When I fall





When I fall in love

The second stanza describes the many sounds and sights that we behold and how they open up our merging hearts and feed our empty souls. The persona believes that falling in love with this person will be forever and that their love will not be replaced, as they share the joys of caring together. What has been must never end and the strength they have accumulated throughout their experiences will not be erased. The truth of love when planted leads to an unshakeable foundation that does not waver, and the words of love spoken echo in each other's minds. The song concludes with the belief that love will call and that falling in love with this person will be forever.
