Rock With You
Rainbow Connection Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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.
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
