Ruben Annink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
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.

Ruben, if Emma was my daughter, I would have definitely paired you up. You do justice to this song, something that Elvis never managed to do.
You have made Emma's beauty shine. My heart's desire is to hear and see you perform together, and the best thing you can live happily ever after as a couple.
You are both my Heroes. Love you and, God bless. 💪💪

Ruben sang "Can't Help Falling in love (with you)" for Emma.
Tim sang "Let me love you" for Emma.
We can't blame them, can we?
We're all in love with her at this point.

Kap ff met dit soort reacties, nutteloos... Het songfestival gaat totaal niet over een goede stem, maar over wat voor act je neerzet
