When I Fall In Love
V.Young 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 song “When I Fall In Love” by Victor Young is a classic romantic ballad that speaks about the importance of lasting love. The song is a reflection of the singer's personal perspective about love and relationships, emphasizing the essential values that are at the core of true love.
The opening lines of the song, "Maybe I’m old fashioned, feeling as I do, maybe I am living in the past" suggest that the romantic sentiments expressed are not accepted or echoed in the modern world. However, the singer declares that when he meets the right person, he knows that he will be true, and his first love will be his last. He longs for a love that will last forever.
The chorus of the song highlights the essence of the song; the singer states that when he falls in love, it will be forever, or he will never fall in love. He is determined to fall in love with someone who will reciprocate his feelings and desires the same kind of love he has to offer. Moreover, the bridge of the song emphasizes the fact that love can be fleeting and temporary in a restless world like this, making it all the more important that when he falls in love, it must be forever.
In conclusion, this song is about the quest for true love that lasts forever, regardless of the challenges that come along. It emphasizes the importance of finding someone who shares your values and desires for love, and when that happens, you give yourself wholly to that person.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, feeling as I do
Possibly, my opinions are out of date, as I believe
Maybe I am living in the past
It is possible that I am dwelling on the past
But when I meet the right one
However, upon encountering the correct individual
I know that I'll be true
I am confident that I will be faithful
My first love will be the last
My initial affection will be my eternal one
When I fall in love it will be forever
When I am enamored, it will be for eternity
Or I'll never fall in love
Or I will never experience romantic love
In a restless world like this is
In a frenzied world such as ours
Love is ended before it began
Love is often concluded before it truly started
And too many moonlight kisses
And after numerous evening embraces
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
They appear to weaken under the sun’s heat
When I give my heart it will be completely
If I entrust my heart, it will be entirely
Or I'll never, never, never give my heart
Either that or I'll never devote my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
At the point when I perceive you reciprocating my emotions
Is when I give my heart to you
Is when I grant you my heart

When I fall in love it will be forever
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
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.
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love with you

I sang this song with my chorus choir in high school in '96. Was watching a movie with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock called "The week of" and heard the song! Brought back so many memories. Didn't know Nat "King" Cole sang it. 💕

Sound quality on your transfers is excellent. May I ask what equipment you use for them? Turntable/cartridge/stylus/tracking pressure, preamp, etc? The clarity is really quite striking.
