When I Fall in Love
The Real Group 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 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.

When I fall in love
it will be forever and has to be forever
Or i'll never ever fall in love




And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

Line by Line Meaning

When I fall in love it will be forever
My love is not temporary; if I fall in love, it will be lasting and forever.


Or I'll never fall in love, in love
If I cannot find true and eternal love, I will never fall in love.


In a restless world like this is
In this world filled with instability and unease,


Love is ended before it's begun
Love often fades away even before it properly starts.


And too many moonlight kisses
Despite the allure of romantic moments,


Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
The passion of such moments is often replaced by the harsh reality of daylight.


When I give my heart it will be completely
If I offer my heart, I do so with complete sincerity and devotion.


Or I'll never give my heart
If I find no reason to give my heart, I will never do so.


And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Only when I sense that you reciprocate my love,


Is when I fall in love with you.
will I truly and permanently fall in love with you.
