When
Celine 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 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
"When I Fall in Love" is a classic love song that explores the various stages of a person's search for love. The song speaks to the idea that love is something that lasts forever or not at all, and that in a world where love is often fleeting, it is difficult to find someone to truly and fully give one's heart to.
The singer suggests that in a restless world like the one we live in, love often ends before it even begins, and that too many moonlight kisses can cool in the warmth of the sun. This suggests that love is often a fleeting emotion that is not strong enough to survive the trials and tribulations of life. However, the singer also contends that when they do find someone worthy of their love, they will give them their heart completely.
The song ends with the moment the singer realizes that the one they love feels the same way about them. This is the moment when they will finally fall in love with each other. The lyrics of the song are simple yet powerful, and they speak to the universal desire for enduring love.
