When I Fall In Love
Nat King Cole · Other Songs - Nat King Cole
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 moonlight 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.
(Instrumental)
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love with you
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
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 give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
(Instrumental)
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love with you
