When You Love Someone – Kenny Rogers

About the Song 

Kenny Rogers, the “Gambler” himself, wasn’t just known for tales of cowboys and high-stakes games. Songs like “When You Love Someone,” released in 2013, showcase his ability to deliver heartfelt ballads that resonate with the universal language of love.
This song, written by the trio of Bryan Adams, Gretchen Peters, and Michael Kamen, isn’t your typical love song filled with flowery declarations. Instead, it paints a portrait of unconditional love, a love that endures through thick and thin.

The opening lines set the stage: “When you love someone / You’ll do anything / You’ll do all the crazy things / That you can’t explain.” This verse hints at the irrational and all-encompassing nature of true love, where logic takes a backseat to devotion.
The chorus further emphasizes this theme: “When you love someone / You’ll feel it deep inside / And nothin’ else / Could ever change your mind.” Rogers’ signature smooth vocals deliver these lines with conviction, leaving no doubt about the unwavering strength of this love.

The song goes beyond grand gestures, acknowledging the sacrifices and challenges that come with true love. Lines like “When you love someone / You’ll sacrifice / Give it everything you got / And you won’t think twice” speak to the commitment and dedication required in a lasting relationship.
But “When You Love Someone” isn’t all seriousness. The playful lyrics “You’ll shoot the moon / Put out the sun” add a touch of whimsy, highlighting the lengths one might go to for the one they love. This lightheartedness balances the song’s emotional core, making it relatable and endearing.

“When You Love Someone” serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of love. It’s a love that can make you feel invincible, one that compels you to go the extra mile, and one that endures through life’s inevitable challenges. Whether you’re a seasoned romantic or just starting your journey, this song offers a timeless message about the beauty and strength of true love.

Lyrics: When You Love Someone

When you love someone
You’ll do anything
You’ll do all the crazy things
that you can’t explain
You’ll shoot the moon
Put out the sun
When you love someone
You’ll deny the truth
Believe a lie
There’ll be times
that you’ll believe
that you can really fly
But your lonely nights
have just begun
When you love someone
When you love someone
You feel it deep inside
And nothin’ else could
ever change your mind
When you want someone
When you need someone
When you love someone
When you love someone
You’ll sacrifice
You’d give it everything you got
And you won’t think twice
You’d risk it all
No matter what may come
When you love someone
You’ll shoot the moon
Put out the sun
When you love someone
