When I Fall In Love
Cole Nat King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of Cole Nat King's song "When I Fall In Love" express the singer's yearning for true and lasting love. He declares that when he falls in love, it will be forever or not at all, asserting his desire for a love that is powerful and enduring. He expresses his belief that love can be elusive in a world where relationships often end before they have really begun, and where the heat of passion can quickly fade away. The singer is looking for something deeper and more meaningful than mere infatuation or attraction.
The lyrics also reveal the singer's reluctance to give his heart completely to someone unless he knows that this person reciprocates his feelings. He states that he will never give his heart if he cannot do so wholeheartedly, implying that he has been hurt in the past and does not want to risk being hurt again. However, the moment that he senses that the other person feels the same way, he is willing to give himself fully and eagerly.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and cautious optimism, as the singer searches for a love that is pure, true, and lasting.

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 (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

We fell in love in 1956. We were married in 1961. She died in April a year ago. I am still in love.

This was also my husband’s favorite singer and he so loved this song!
Listening to Nat sing this song makes my heart melt!
My heart aches as I remember and reminisce listening to Nat sing his beautiful songs.. his voice is so soothing..
As I reminisce over the beautiful moments my husband and I shared over our 60+ years of marriage.
Thank you Jesus for my life with my one true love … MY HUSBAND!!! Rest in Peace sweetheart!

I’m listening to this absolute classic of a gem in 2024. What a truly beautiful magnificent voice Nat King Cole had. I can’t stand most of the music that’s popular today, and I feel my faith restored when I listen to vocals as beautiful as this. I’m 33 years old.

I’m 21 and feel the same way, I love music from the 50s. Back when people all had class and respect for each other. I never fit in with my generation or understood what they consider “fun” and “good”

I know exactly how feel. If songs like this was played on the air more, I truly believe there would be more love than anything else.
