When I Fall in Love
Shirley Lyrics

Shirley Horn's rendition of the classic ballad, "I Fall In Love Too Easily" speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever fallen fast and furiously in love, only to have been met with disappointment and heartbreak. The opening line sets the tone for the whole song as Horn confesses that she falls in love too easily, too fast, and too hard for love to ever last. She is cognizant of the fact that her heart should be well schooled because of the pain it has endured in the past. Despite this, the pull of love remains too strong to resist, and she finds herself falling all over again.

The lyrics are a testament to the human desire for love, and the vulnerability that comes with giving one's heart to another person. It is a universal feeling that anyone who has experienced heartbreak can relate to. Horn's delivery is hauntingly beautiful and raw, expressing the depth of emotion that comes with loving too hard and too fast.

Overall, "I Fall In Love Too Easily" is a poignant reminder of the fragility of love, and the risks we take when we open ourselves up to it. It is a song that captures the essence of what it means to be human, and the power of music to connect us all.
