When I Fall in Love
Timeless Love: Betty Buckley's Poetic Ode to Lasting Romance
Lyrics
Maybe I'm old fashioned, feeling as I do
Expressing a sense of being traditional or having old-fashioned values
Maybe I am living in the past
Suggesting a contemplation of living in a time or mindset from the past
But when I meet the right one
Anticipating meeting the right romantic partner
I know that I'll be true
Expressing a commitment to loyalty and faithfulness in a relationship
My first love will be the last
Believing that the first love encountered will be the final and enduring one
When I fall in love it will be forever
Stating that when the singer falls in love, it will be a permanent and lasting experience
Or I'll never fall in love
Indicating a reluctance to fall in love if it cannot be a lifelong commitment
In a restless world like this is
Commenting on the challenges of maintaining love in a fast-paced and unsettled world
Love is ended before it began
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of love in a world where relationships end prematurely
And too many moonlight kisses
Observing that many romantic moments lose their intensity or passion over time
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
Suggesting that the warmth of love diminishes when faced with the reality of life
When I give my heart it will be completely
Committing to giving one's heart entirely in a future relationship
Or I'll never, never, never give my heart
Reiterating the commitment to only give one's heart fully or not at all
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Describing the pivotal moment when mutual feelings are sensed and reciprocated
Is when I give my heart to you
Stating that the act of giving one's heart occurs when the other person shares similar feelings
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Repeating the emphasis on the mutual feeling as the key to giving one's heart
Is when I give my heart to you
Reiterating that the singer gives their heart when the other person reciprocates the same feelings
