Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall 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
For I can't help falling in love with you

* Repeat

For I can't help falling in love with you
