When I Fall in Love
Timeless Love: Roger Whittaker's Eternal Pledge
Lyrics
Maybe I'm old fashioned, feeling as I do
Expressing a possibly traditional or old-fashioned sentiment
Maybe I am living in the past
Acknowledging a potential attachment to the past
But when I meet the right one
Anticipating meeting the right life partner
I know that I'll be true
Commitment to being faithful once the right person is found
My first love will be the last
Belief that the first love will be the only love
When I fall in love it will be forever
Emphasizing the enduring nature of true love
Or I'll never fall in love
Stating the alternative of not falling in love if not forever
In a restless world like this is
Commenting on the challenges of maintaining love in a fast-paced world
Love is ended before it began
Noting the fragility of love that ends before it fully begins
And too many moonlight kisses
Observing the fleeting nature of romantic moments
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
Describing the tendency for passion to diminish in the face of reality
When I give my heart it will be completely
Promising to give one's heart fully when in love
Or I'll never, never, never give my heart
Reiterating the commitment to withhold love if not reciprocated
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Highlighting the importance of mutual feelings in giving one's heart
Is when I give my heart to you
Specifying the condition for giving one's heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Reiteration of the importance of mutual feelings
Is when I give my heart to you
Restating the condition for giving one's heart
