Lyrics

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

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
