When I Fall in Love
Victor Silvester and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I'm old fashioned, feeling as I do
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
In a restless world like this is
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

Line by Line Meaning

Maybe I'm old fashioned, feeling as I do
Perhaps I have traditional values, considering my emotions


Maybe I am living in the past
Perhaps I am nostalgic and prefer an earlier era


But when I meet the right one
However, when I encounter my perfect match


I know that I'll be true
I am certain that I will remain loyal


My first love will be the last
My initial romance will be my forever love


When I fall in love it will be forever
When I experience love, it will endure eternally


Or I'll never fall in love
Otherwise, I will never experience love


In a restless world like this is
In a busy and volatile world such as this


Love is ended before it began
Romantic relationships conclude before they even start


And too many moonlight kisses
And a surplus of affectionate gestures under the moon


Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
Appear to fade when confronted with reality


When I give my heart it will be completely
When I offer my heart, it will be wholeheartedly


Or I'll never, never, never give my heart
Otherwise, I will never, under any circumstances, surrender my heart


And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
And the instant I sense your reciprocal emotions


Is when I give my heart to you
Is when I entrust my heart to you


And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
And the instant I sense your reciprocal emotions


Is when I give my heart to you
Is when I entrust my heart to you

I wonder why the Silvester soundtrack of Eyes Wide Shut is so inaccessible on the internet. Apart from When I Fall In Love, which is available on the official soundtrack, it is impossible to find the original Silvester recordings of the movie.
