Can't Help Falling in Love
Embracing Inevitable Love: Neil Diamond's Profound Melody
Lyrics
Wise men say
Wise individuals often give advice
Only fools rush in
Only those lacking wisdom rush into love
But I can't help
Despite the advice, I find myself unable to resist
Falling in love with you
Falling deeply in love with you
Shall I stay
Contemplating whether to stay
Would it be a sin
Wondering if it would be considered a wrongdoing
If I can't help falling in love with you
Even if it's deemed wrong, I can't prevent
Like a river flows
Comparing the love to the flowing of a river
Surely to the sea
Certainly heading towards the sea
Darling so it goes
Expressing inevitability in love
Some things are meant to be
Some things are destined to happen
Take my hand,
Inviting the loved one to take the speaker's hand
Take my whole life too
Offering the entirety of the speaker's life
For I can't help falling in love with you
Reiterating the inability to resist falling in love
Like a river flows
Repeating the metaphor of love as a river
Surely to the sea
Emphasizing the natural flow towards love
Darling so it goes
Stating the inevitability of certain things in love
Some things are meant to be
Reiterating the idea that some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Extending the invitation to hold hands
Take my whole life too
Offering the entirety of the speaker's life again
For I can't help
Acknowledging the inability to resist falling in love
Falling in love with you
Repeating the expression of deep affection
No, I can't help
Affirming the inability to prevent falling in love
Falling in love with you
Reiterating the deep emotional connection
