When I Fall in Love
Julie London 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

And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

Those octave jumps are just incredible ("in the warmth OF THE sun" or "that YOU FEEL that way too..." She sings them with such ease and yet anyone who has tried to sing for real knows how difficult they are.

William L Robinson

Julie's golden voice delivers again. Her tone is very mellow. For me, this is singing style will last forever.

How can you not feel relaxed when listening to this beautiful voice. The only thing I regret was never meeting her in person. Julie, I love listening to you. Did u ever think back when u were recording and performing that 50 years later, people would still be listening to you and loving you. Rest in peace Julie and thank you Bobby for seeing what we now see.... a voice that we can all enjoy. Rest in peace both of you. I love u Julie

D Barb
