When I Fall in Love
John Tesh 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
(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

In my opinion, this song never got the recognition it deserved. From piano to vocals to orchestra, it is brilliant and will always be one of my favorite songs of all time. When I first heard it, I knew it would be song at my wedding and about 10 years later, in 2003, it was our song!❤️

@DeathbyZombiez

mospur number one on the charts for an extended period here in the U.S....lots of recognition TWENTY years ago... or longer?

@carolkabuye4270

My wedding song too.😊😊

@desireewade9896

This is truly a beautiful song! Truly love it !🌹

@jfoan4275

I totally agree!!! It never was mentioned with the other hits...and it peaked 5 on the Billboard....it was his voice first and then John Tesh and the orchestra. Face it know one could give this song more justice than James Ingram.

@HUNTERR664

This is a wonderful song and we used it for our wedding first dance....

I'm walking down the aisle to this song in my wedding and November of 2020. So romantic and melodic. Rest in peace James Ingram.
