Lyrics
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 sunWhen 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’ll fall in love with youAnd the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I’ll fall in love with you
