When
P.J. Proby 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 lyrics to P.J. Proby's song, "When I Fall In Love," speak to the notion of undying love and commitment in a world where relationships often end before they have the chance to truly begin. The singer declares that when they fall in love, it will be a forever kind of love or they will never fall in love at all. This intense commitment is emphasized by the repetition of "never" throughout the song, underscoring the idea that for the singer, love is an all-or-nothing proposition.
The lyrics also touch on the transience of love in a "restless world" where relationships can be fleeting and "too many moonlight kisses" can quickly evaporate when faced with the heat of reality. However, the singer remains committed to their ideals of forever love, refusing to settle for anything less. They assert that when they give their heart, it will be completely, but only if they can feel that the other person feels the same way. This reciprocal aspect of love is key to the singer's conception of what constitutes true and lasting love.
