The Starshine Orchestra & Singers 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 lyrics of "When I Fall In Love" by The Starshine Orchestra & Singers express a deep longing for a love that is everlasting and wholehearted. The singer contemplates the nature of love in a restless world, one where love often fades before it even has a chance to bloom. The song emphasizes the fragility of love, as symbolized by the moonlight kisses that cool in the warmth of the sun.
The singer makes a bold declaration that when they indeed fall in love, it will be forever or not at all. They refuse to give their heart unless they can find someone who reciprocates their feelings completely. This suggests a fear of vulnerability and a desire for a love that is mutual and unwavering.
The final lines indicate that the moment they can sense the other person feeling the same way, that is when they truly fall in love. It implies that love is not just a one-sided emotion, but a shared experience. The song encapsulates the yearning for a true and lasting love in a world that often seems to undermine its existence.

When I fall in love, it will be forever
When I experience the feeling of love, it will last eternally
Or I'll never fall in love
If love doesn't last forever, I will never allow myself to fall in love
In a restless world like this is
In a constantly changing and uncertain world
Love is ended before it's begun
Love often ends before it even has a chance to start
And too many moonlight kisses
And too many romantic moments
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
Seem to lose their enchantment in the harsh reality of day
When I fall in love, it will be completely
When I experience love, it will consume me entirely
Or I'll never give my heart
If love doesn't consume me entirely, I will never open myself up to it
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
And the moment I sense that you reciprocate those same feelings
Is when I fall in love with you
That is when I will truly fall in love with you
