Let's Fall In Love
Gerry Mulligan & Stan Getz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I am living in the past
But when I meet the right one
I know that I'll be true
My first love will be the last
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
Love is ended before it began
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, never, never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I give my heart to you

Line by Line Meaning
Maybe I'm old fashioned, feeling as I do
Perhaps my views are outdated, but I truly believe in love.
Maybe I am living in the past
I hold traditional values and beliefs when it comes to romance.
But when I meet the right one
When I find my true love,
I know that I'll be true
I will be faithful and devoted to them.
My first love will be the last
I will cherish and love my partner forever, from our first meeting until the end of time.
When I fall in love it will be forever
My love is genuine and everlasting.
Or I'll never fall in love
I won't settle for anything less than true love.
In a restless world like this is
In this fast-paced, constantly changing world,
Love is ended before it began
Many relationships end before they even truly start.
And too many moonlight kisses
Even the sweetest moments, such as kisses under the moonlight,
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
Can lose their magic and fade away with time.
When I give my heart it will be completely
When I love, I give my all and hold nothing back.
Or I'll never, never, never give my heart
I won't risk my heart unless it's for true love.
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
When I'm certain that you love me in the same way,
Is when I give my heart to you
That's when I'll open up my heart to you completely.
