About the song
The Lennon Sisters, a vocal quartet renowned for their harmonies and pop appeal, delivered a timeless rendition of Elvis Presley’s classic ballad, “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” in 1962. While Presley’s original version, released the previous year, had already captured the hearts of millions, the Lennon Sisters’ interpretation offered a unique and equally captivating perspective on this beloved song.
The sisters’ harmonies, characterized by their blend of sweetness and strength, perfectly complement the tender emotions conveyed in the lyrics. Their voices harmonize seamlessly, creating a rich and enveloping sound that draws the listener in from the very beginning. The arrangement is stripped down, allowing the vocals to take center stage and emphasizing the intimate nature of the song.
In contrast to Presley’s more passionate delivery, the Lennon Sisters’ version is marked by a sense of restraint and elegance. Their interpretation is more subdued, focusing on the delicate nuances of the melody and the emotional depth of the lyrics. This approach allows the listener to savor each note and fully appreciate the beauty of the song.
“Can’t Help Falling in Love” is a testament to the Lennon Sisters’ enduring appeal. Their rendition of this classic ballad not only showcases their vocal talents but also demonstrates their ability to connect with audiences on a deep emotional level. The song’s timeless message of love and longing continues to resonate with listeners of all ages, making it a beloved staple of popular music.

Lyrics
Wise man 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.Yes I can’t help
Falling in love with you.
