When I Fall In Love
The Singers Unlimited 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
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
The Singers Unlimited's song "When I Fall In Love" is a timeless classic that speaks of the longing to find true love that lasts a lifetime. The opening lines "When I fall in love, it will be forever/ Or I'll never fall in love" set the tone for the song, conveying a sense of resolute determination to only pursue a love that is genuine and unwavering. The second verse bemoans the transitory nature of romantic love in today's world, where passion fades as easily as it ignites. The line "And too many moonlight kisses/Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun" is particularly evocative, painting a picture of fleeting moments that are doomed to fade away.
The song's refrain repeats the same lines in a tender and introspective way, highlighting the importance of finding a partner who shares the same depth of feelings. The sentiment "And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too/ Is when I fall in love with you" captures the vulnerability and emotional investment required for a true connection. The song's gradual build up of harmonies, accompanied by gentle piano and string arrangements, elevates the words to something that is undeniably rich and moving.
