When I Fall In Love...

Danny Couch   Listen to "When I Fall In Love" 

Lyrics Transcribed by Lea Cook

When I fall in love it will be forever

For I'll never fall in love.

In a restless world like this is

Love is ended before its begun.

And too many moonlight kisses

Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.

 

When I give my heart it will be completely.

For 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.

 

<instrumental interlude first two lines>

 

In a restless world like this is

Love is ended before its begun.

And too many moonlight kisses,

Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.

 

When I give my heart it will be completely.

For I'll never, ever give my heart.

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too,

Is when I fall in love,

when I fall in love, When I fall in love with you.. Just you
