Maybe I'm old fashioned feeling as I do. Maybe I'm just living in the past, But when I meet the right one, I know I'll be true. My first love will be my last. 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 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. For I'll never give my heart. And the moment I can fell that you fell that way too Is when I fall in love with you.
Richard Carpenter's liner notes for Carpenters: Their Greatest Hits And Finest Performances:
Little Girl Blue and When I Fall In Love were both recorded for our third ABC television special, Space Encounters, in 1978. Ultimately, there was room for only one ballad in the particular segment and Little Girl Blue was selected. When I Fall In Love was subsequently featured in our fifth TV special, Music, Music, Music (1980).
