When I Fall in Love
Starlite Orchestra & Singers 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 fall in love, 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

When I fall in love, 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, when I fall in love with you
