If We're In Love
RÛisÌn Murphy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If we're in love
If we're in love
If we're in love we should make love

Where the sun it never sets
And where the wind forgets
I will forget you
Where the sky goes on for miles
And never ties of an improbable blue
When the supreme mysteries
Decide to reveal all to us
And make an endless night
Still I will come to remember

If we're in love we should make love
If we're in love we should make love
If we're in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?
If we're in love we should make love
If we're in love we should make love
If we're in love we should make love
When will that be?

I'm gonna forget you
When the rivers stop and turn to run
To where they've begun
Back up the mountainside
When the sun it comes to the night to play
And like I do just sleep all day
When the moon and the stars turn to the light
Not in the dark of night
But in the morning sky
When the roses turn to bloom
Not in June but in the bitter cold of December

There's not a
There's not a joy in this whole world to give
There's not a joy
As lovely as the bird that flew away

Last night I
I think I dreamt a
Beautiful song
But when I woke
The birds had flown
And it was gone

If we're in love we should make love
If we're in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?
If we're in love we should make love
If we're in love we should make love




If we're in love we should make love
When will that be?

The lyrics suggest that the singer may never be able to completely forget her lost love, as she describes a world where memories have no meaning, but still always remembers. The phrase "When will we be lovers?" becomes a plea, which emphasizes the urgency of wanting to get back together with a former lover.

She also talks about the mystery and beauty of the world, as well as the fleeting nature of memory. Through her lyrics, Murphy conveys a sense of longing and desire for a lost love that may never return, which is compounded by the haunting beauty of the track. The song meanders through different emotions, from sorrow to hope, and gives voice to the complicated feelings that arise after a failed relationship.

The happy thoughts or feelings I had disappeared as quickly as they came


And it was gone
Leaving me to face reality once again


When will that be?
When will we finally be together and share our love
