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

Song Note

This adaptation of Giovanni Martini's eighteenth-century song "Plaisir d'Amour" was given to Elvis for his movie Blue Hawaii -- hence the Hawaiian steel guitar. But this was no vacation for Presley: It took him twenty-nine takes to nail his exquisitely gentle vocals. The song became the closing number for most of his Seventies concerts.
