CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE

(recorded by Elvis Presley for the film "Blue Hawaii")

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 were 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

Here's the Elvis song. Arlo Guthrie did a nice recording of it on a live album he did with Pete Seeger called "More Together Again." I lobbied to get the song included in the second volume of Rise Up Singing, and I think I won my battle.
So, what Mamas and Papas song are you thinking of, Tim?
