But not the other way around.
When I Fall In Love
Nat "King" Cole & Natalie Cole 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 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
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.
The song "When I Fall in Love" by Nat "King" Cole and his daughter Natalie Cole is a classic love ballad that speaks of the singer's devotion to finding true love. The lyrics convey the idea that the singer's love will be eternal and unyielding. The opening line, "When I fall in love it will be forever or I'll never fall in love," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is making a bold statement that they will either find the one true love that lasts a lifetime, or they will not bother with love at all.
The second verse emphasizes the fleeting nature of love in a chaotic world where too many moonlit kisses cool in the warmth of the sun. The world is restless and ever-changing, and love often ends before it even truly begins. The singer recognizes this and knows that they must find someone who feels the same way they do. The final two lines of the verse, "When I give my heart it will be completely or I'll never give my heart," emphasize the importance of finding a love that is reciprocated and sincere.
The chorus repeats the central idea of the song: "And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too is when I fall in love with you." The singer is waiting for that one moment when they truly connect with their soulmate, that moment when they know that their love will be forever.
Overall, the lyrics to "When I Fall in Love" speak to the universal desire for true love and connection. The song's timeless message continues to resonate with audiences today.
Line by Line Meaning
When I fall in love it will be forever
I seek a love that will last eternally and not merely a fleeting one.
Or I'll never fall in love
If it's not a love that will last, then it's not worth falling in love with.
In a restless world like this is
In a world where everything is constantly changing and shifting,
Love is ended before it's begun
Love often ends before it even begins due to the chaotic nature of the world we live in.
And too many moonlight kisses
And even the tender, romantic moments that seem so perfect
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
Can be forgotten and fade away when reality hits us hard.
When I give my heart it will be completely
If I am to give my heart to someone, it will be given fully without any reservations.
Or I'll never give my heart
I won't give my heart away if I know it won't be reciprocated or valued.
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Only when there is mutual affection and understanding,
Is when I fall in love with you.
Will I allow myself to fall deeply and completely in love.

I always tell people when I start to feel for someone they can't mess around with imy heart 💔 for when it hurts it makes me cry,😭. I can't love again because I can't afford to lose. I have suffered my share of losses so unless people are sincere please, especially when we know there's something we can do about it 🌿🌿🌹 we got to let it go!! Beautiful song❤

I am deeply saddened by the death of Natalie, partly, I suppose, because it means the end of the Cole line of singers that I have been fortunate to have been witness to. I grew up with Nat and loved this song, and when Natalie joined her father's voice with hers, it was magic. Her death is not only a loss for the present music world, but a loss for all of us that remember her and her father through the years.
