When I Fall In Love
Sandra Dee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I fall in love, It will be forever,
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,
Or I'll never give my heart.
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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sandra Dee's song "When I Fall in Love" describe the artist's desire for a love that will last forever. She explains that in a world of restlessness where love often ends before it even begins, her love will be different. She will either fall in love forever, or never fall in love at all. The song also touches on the idea of fleeting and insincere affection, with "too many moonlight kisses" fading as quickly as they began. The singer declares that when she falls in love, it will be a complete surrender of her heart, and only when she knows that her love is reciprocated will she allow herself to fall.


Overall, the song is a heartfelt declaration of the importance of genuine and lasting love in a fickle world. Sandra Dee's velvety voice brings a sense of yearning to the lyrics, making it an emotional and powerful ballad.


Line by Line Meaning

When I fall in love, It will be forever,
If I fall in love, it will be a love that lasts a lifetime


Or I'll never fall in love.
If I can't find a love that lasts a lifetime, I'd rather not fall in love at all


In a restless world, Like this is,
In a world that is constantly changing and unstable


Love is ended Before it's begun.
Many times, love doesn't even have a chance to begin before it comes to an end


And too many moonlight kisses,
Despite the passionate and romantic nature of moonlight kisses


Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
They often lose their passion and intensity when faced with the harsh reality of daylight


When I give my heart, It will be completely,
If and when I give my heart to someone, it will be given freely and without reservation


Or I'll never give my heart.
If I cannot give my heart completely, then I would rather not give it at all


And the moment I can feel that,
As soon as I can sense


You feel that way too, Is when I fall in love with you.
That's when I know I've found a love that will last a lifetime - when I'm with someone who feels the same way as I do


And the moment I can feel that
And as soon as I can sense


You feel that way too, Is when I fall in love... With you.
That's when I know I've found someone special and I'm ready to fall in love with them

Recently watched a few of my favorite Sandra Dee films...couldn't help crying...so young, so beautiful, so troubled...I like to think Bobby and Sandy are together at last...they had a love that could never die...they were meant to be together forever, and I know now they are.....both beautiful hearts are ONE! God be with their son, Dodd...the image of both of them! ❤️🙏❤️

@Geekygirrls2014on

It's well documented that Bobby Darin beat the CRAP out of Sandra Dee and that's what led to her early death (as she lost her emotional balance because he treated her brutishly).

@davidadams1795

Utter rubbish.

@jenniferklassen7196

Sandra had such a beautiful voice too. I could listen to her all day.

@geraldderozario5688

@vickieoakes168

Bobby Darin was the one great love of Sandra Dee's life they had one son together she loved him so much, I really wish that after Bobby died that Sandra would have went on and made more movies, I always loved her, she was one of my favorite actress's and so pretty.
