And I Love Her
The Starsound Orchestra 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 opening lines establish the seriousness of the singer's intent when it comes to love. He declares that when he falls in love, it will be forever, or he will not fall in love at all.

In essence, the song is an expression of the singer's yearning for a deep and meaningful love, and his belief that it is possible to achieve.
