When I Fall in Love
Regine Velasquez 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'll fall in love with you
Regine Velasquez’s "When I Fall in Love" speaks of the singer’s longing to find a love that is true and lasting. She asserts that when she does finally fall in love, it’ll be forever or never at all. Living in a world that is restless and unpredictable, it is all too easy for love to end before it even begins to take root. Velasquez recognizes that too many moonlight kisses can quickly become forgotten in the harsh light of the sun.
However, when she does finally decide to give her heart, it will be completely or not at all. She is looking for a love that is reciprocal, one where she can feel that her partner loves her just as deeply. The moment she senses that mutual feeling, that’s when she'll finally fall in love. The song captures the sense of vulnerability and hesitant optimism that comes with falling in love, emphasizing the importance of mutual commitment.
Line by Line Meaning
When I fall in love it will be forever
If I ever fall in love, it will be a lifetime commitment
Or I'll never fall in love
Otherwise, I won't bother pursuing a romantic relationship
In a restless world like this is
In this constantly changing environment
Love is ended before it's begun
Relationships often end before they even start
And too many moonlight kisses
Amorous moments might feel great in the moment
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
But they can quickly fade in the light of day and harsh reality
When I give my heart it will be completely
If I choose to love, I will do so wholeheartedly
Or I'll never give my heart
Otherwise, I won't give myself fully to another person
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
I will only truly fall in love when your feelings mirror mine
Is when I fall in love with you.
That is the only time I will allow myself to fall in love with you.
