Can't Help Falling in Love
Katharine McPhee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

You can say that again, Andrea and Katherine are so much composed and calm enough to get the music to the marrow of your bones, I got to to listen to different versions of this song including the original Elvis Presley but I still find this one the best and most composed to depth.
