When I Fall in Love
Len Mercer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before its begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
That's when I fall in love with you
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
That's when I fall in love with you
