Can't Help Falling In Love
Haley Reinhart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't help falling in love with you
Oh, shall I stay, would it be a sin
Oh, 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
Oh, for I can't help falling in love with you
Oh, like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be
Oh, take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Oh, for I can't help falling in love with you
Haley Reinhart's rendition of the classic song "Can't Help Falling in Love" encapsulates the feeling of falling deeply in love with someone despite knowing the risks. The song begins with the line "Wise men say only fools rush in," an oft-repeated warning to people who are about to embark on love affairs. However, despite the cautionary advice, the singer admits that she "can't help falling in love" with the person she's addressing.
The next lines raise a question: "Oh, shall I stay, would it be a sin / Oh, if I can't help falling in love with you?" Here, the singer refers to the possibility that her love for this person might cause harm in some way. The dilemma arises from the fact that despite knowing the risks, she cannot control her feelings. She wonders if it would be wrong to stay with the object of her affection, given that her emotions might lead to a negative outcome.
The chorus of the song compares the inevitability of love to the steady flow of a river: "Like a river flows, surely to the sea / Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be." The singer believes that her love for this person is unavoidable, and the relationship is meant to be. The final verse assures her lover: "Take my hand, take my whole life too / Oh, for I can't help falling in love with you." The singer's declaration of love is unconditional.

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

Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too

Awww that’s purely sweet & unique. Old generation love was real but i really feel bad for this new generation & future cause every feelin’s & hearts r taken as jokes. I wish i was born 50-100yrs ago. Me, As a 23yr old girl i feel like everything is messed up with people now compare to 50yrs ago as my parents tell us stories of their olds days.

This was my wedding song. I lost my husband a month ago and every time I hear this song I cry because I see me walking up and holding his hand at the alter. He was a beautiful soul.
