Wise men say only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you.
Should I stay? Would it be a sin,
If 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,
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you.

(Repeat once from beginning)

Wise men say only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you.
Should I stay? Would it be a sin,
If 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.

So take my hand; take my whole life too,
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you.
No, I can't help falling in love with you.

Recorded by Elvis Presley in 1961. Featured in Story 3 and 8 and Elvis' movie Blue Hawaii.
