When I Fall In Love
Victor Young - Edward Eyman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 moon light 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 fall in love with you

@brdphl

When she goes into “hopeless place chorus” just as better off alone hits their chorus you know it’s a match!!!! Wow perfection

@brdphl

The build up from better off alone to BAM chorus of We found love is like a drug to the bones. It hits you

@brdphl

Still waiting for something to beat it. What I appreciate about this mix unlike other songs is it keeps the base together. You still get authentic “better off alone” with a beautiful mix that coordinates Rihanna’s best hit

@silky3651

you did a masterpiece remix at 2:50, in my opinion you should have kept that bit longer, it's phenomenal!
