When I Fall in Love
The Romantic Strings & Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I am living in the past
But when I meet the right one
I know that I'll be true
My first love will be the last
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
Love is ended before it began
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, never, never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I give my heart to you
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I give my heart to you
The lyrics of "When I Fall In Love" by The Romantic Strings & Orchestra convey a sentiment of old-fashioned romanticism and a desire for a lasting and true love. The singer acknowledges the possibility that their views may be considered outdated, but they firmly believe in finding the right person and remaining faithful to them for the rest of their life. They express a longing for a love that endures forever and reject the frivolous nature of modern relationships.
The song's lyrics reflect the singer's belief that love in today's world is fickle and often short-lived. They perceive love as being easily extinguished before it even has a chance to fully blossom. The juxtaposition of "moonlight kisses" cooling in the warmth of the sun symbolizes the ephemeral nature of love in a restless and fast-paced society.
The singer emphasizes their commitment to love wholeheartedly and unconditionally. They declare that when they eventually decide to give their heart to someone, it will be done with complete dedication. They won't settle for anything less than a love that is reciprocated in the same profound manner.
Overall, "When I Fall In Love" inspires a sense of nostalgia for an era when love was valued as a lifelong commitment rather than a fleeting emotion. It portrays the hope for lasting love in a world that often seems to prioritize temporary connections.
Line by Line Meaning
Maybe I'm old fashioned, feeling as I do
Perhaps my beliefs and values are considered traditional, but I embrace them wholeheartedly
Maybe I am living in the past
Perhaps I am nostalgia-driven, cherishing the past and longing for its simplicity
But when I meet the right one
However, when I encounter the perfect person for me
I know that I'll be true
I am confident that I will remain faithful and devoted
My first love will be the last
The love I experience first will be the love that endures forever
When I fall in love it will be forever
When I truly fall in love, it will be an eternal commitment
Or I'll never fall in love
Otherwise, I might never experience romantic love
In a restless world like this is
In an ever-changing and unstable world such as this
Love is ended before it began
Love often fades away and concludes prematurely
And too many moonlight kisses
Along with an excessive number of romantic encounters under the moonlight
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
Tend to lose their intensity when exposed to the reality of everyday life
When I give my heart it will be completely
When I offer my heart to someone, it will be with total sincerity and vulnerability
Or I'll never, never, never give my heart
Otherwise, I may never allow myself to truly give my heart to another
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
And the instant I sense that you reciprocate those same emotions
Is when I give my heart to you
That's when I will openly and wholeheartedly offer you my love and devotion
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
And the instant I sense that you reciprocate those same emotions
Is when I give my heart to you
That's when I will openly and wholeheartedly offer you my love and devotion
