Can't Help Falling In Love
Presley (Elvis) 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
At its core, Can't Help Falling In Love is a song that speaks to the irresistible power of love. The opening lines, "Wise men say, only fools rush in," suggest that those who are cautious in matters of the heart are wise, while those who jump in headfirst are foolish. However, the singer is unable to help falling in love with the object of their affection, despite potential risks and consequences. The phrase "would it be a sin" implies a sense of guilt or shame associated with such strong emotions, which adds an intriguing layer to the lyrics.
The second verse repeats the imagery of a river flowing to the sea, emphasizing the inevitable nature of love and its ability to bring two people together despite obstacles. The line "some things are meant to be" reinforces the idea that love can have a certain fateful quality and that the singer sees their relationship as something predestined.
The final lines of the song, "Take my hand, take my whole life too, for I can't help falling in love with you," showcase the intensity of the singer's emotions and their willingness to commit everything they have to this relationship. Overall, Can't Help Falling In Love is a beautifully written song that perfectly captures the all-consuming, overwhelming nature of love.
