Artist: UB40

Released: May 10, 1993

Lyrics
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you

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
But I can't help falling in love with you

As the river flows
Gently to the sea
Darling so we go
Some things were meant to be

Take my hand take my whole life too
But I can't help falling in love with you

As the river flows
Gently to the sea
Darling so we go
Some things were meant to be

Take my hand take my whole life too
But I can't help falling in love with you

I can't help falling in love with you
I can't help falling in love with you
I can't help falling in love with you

UB40 covered the original 1961 Elvis Presley recording as the first single from their 1993 album, Promises and Lies. The song was released on May 10, 1993, and eventually climbed to No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, staying there for seven weeks. It also topped the charts of 11 other countries, including Australia, Austria, the Netherlands, New Zealand (where it was the most successful single of 1993), and the United Kingdom, where it spent two weeks at No. 1

The song appears on the soundtrack of the movie Sliver, a 1993 thriller starring Sharon Stone & William Baldwin, who feature in this atmospheric music video directed by American filmmaker Neil Abramson
