When I Fall in Love
King Curtis and His Orchestra Lyrics

The King Curtis and His Orchestra's song "When I Fall in Love" is a love song that speaks to the singer's commitment to loving honestly and fiercely. The first stanza of the song suggests that the singer may be seen as outdated and out of touch with regards to love and relationships, but this does not bother the singer. The second stanza builds upon the first by saying that when the right person comes along, the singer will know it and will remain true and committed to them for the rest of their life. The refrain of the song, which repeats twice throughout the song, suggests that when the singer falls in love, it will last forever, or they will never fall in love at all.

The third stanza of the song suggests that love in today's society is fleeting and easily lost; a restless world where love often ends before it even begins. The fourth stanza builds upon this idea by saying that too many moonlight kisses seem to fade away in the harsh light of day. The fifth and final stanza speaks of the moment when the singer can feel that the other person feels the same way about them. This is the moment when the singer will give their heart completely and without reservation.

Overall, the song speaks to the singer's deep longing for love, but also their fear of being hurt or betrayed. They want to love sincerely and fully, but cannot do so unless they know that the other person feels the same way. The song is a beautiful reminder of the power of love, and the importance of being open and vulnerable with the people we care about.
