The classic love song When I Fall in Love was created by composer Victor Young with lyrics by Edward Heyman, for the 1952 romantic war movie One Minute to Zero. The film was produced by Howard Hughes and starred Robert Mitchum and Ann Blyth. It was filmed at Fort Carson Army in Colorado using troops of the 148th Field Artillery. Set during the Korean War it included film contributions from the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, and the South Korean Army. When I Fall in Love appears only as an instrumental part of the movie.
In June of 1952 Doris Day was the first of many musical artist to record a hit version of the song with its lyrics. Through the years When I Fall in Love has been recorded by several well known artists including; Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Sandra Dee, The Lettermen, The Carpenters, Tom Jones, Kenny Rogers, and Barry Manilow. The song became a hit once again when it was recorded by Celine Dion and Clive Griffin for the romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle in 1993.
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

In 2011 Lindsay Warren Baker and Amanda Jacobs created the muscial Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice a musical , one on the songs in this musical is titled When I Fall in Love however, it is not the same song that was originally created by Victor Young in 1952. Jane Austen is often incorrectly given credit for the quote "
When I fall in love it will be forever" it does not appear in any of her books. This quote is the opening lyrics to the song written by Edward Heyman in 1952.
When you go to see this musical this is the When I Fall in Love song you will see performed.
HAPPINESS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED.
LOVE DOESN’T ALWAYS ENDURE.
WHEN A GIRL MARRIES, SHE TAKES A CHANCE.
SHE HOPES TO BE HAPPY;
SHE MAY NOT BE HAPPY.
THERE’S NO WAY OF KNOWING FOR SURE.
Today the original When I Fall in Love song continues to be on the list of the top love songs for weddings.
