Lyrics

“Can’t Help Falling In Love”

Wise men sayOnly fools rush inBut I can’t help falling in love with youShall I stay?Would it be a sinIf I can’t help falling in love with you?Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life, too
For I can’t help falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life, too
For I can’t help falling in love with you
For I can’t help falling in love with you
