When I Fall in Love
George Benson Feat. Idina Menzel 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.
