When I Fall in Love
Susan Boyle & Nat King Cole 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 fall in love with you
The lyrics to "When I Fall in Love" by Susan Boyle and Nat King Cole beautifully convey the singer's longing for a love that is both eternal and reciprocal. The song begins by expressing that when the singer falls in love, it will be a love that stands the test of time. They emphasize that if their love is not forever, then it is not love at all. The use of the word "never" in the line "Or I'll never fall in love" implies a strong determination and a refusal to settle for anything less than true love.
The lyrics also acknowledge the challenges of finding lasting love in a restless and transient world. The line "In a restless world like this is, love is ended before it's begun" suggests that in a fast-paced society, relationships often crumble before they even have a chance to fully develop. The mention of "too many moonlight kisses" that "cool in the warmth of the sun" further underscores the transitory nature of romance in such a world.
The second verse of the song delves deeper into the singer's expectations for love. They are willing to give their heart completely, but only if it is reciprocated in the same manner. The lyrics beautifully convey the pivotal moment when the singer recognizes that their feelings are reciprocated: "And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too, is when I fall in love with you." This line captures the essence of love as a mutual and shared experience.
Overall, "When I Fall in Love" expresses a yearning for a love that is lasting, deep, and reciprocated. It emphasizes the importance of mutual feelings and a genuine connection, highlighting the fleeting nature of most relationships in today's world.
Line by Line Meaning
When I fall in love, it will be forever
When I experience love, it will last for eternity
Or I'll never fall in love
Otherwise, I will never allow myself to fall in love
In a restless world like this is
In a constantly changing and unsettled world
Love is ended before it's begun
Love often fades away before it even starts
And too many moonlight kisses
And when there are too many fleeting romances
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
They lose their intensity in the brightness of daylight
When I give my heart, it will be completely
When I offer my heart to someone, it will be wholeheartedly
Or I'll never give my heart
If I can't fully commit, I won't give my heart away
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
And the instant I sense that you reciprocate those feelings
Is when I fall in love with you
Is when I deeply fall in love with you
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
And the instant I sense that you reciprocate those feelings
Is when I fall in love with you
Is when I deeply fall in love with you
