His version of the song Elvis Presley made a hit in 1961.
The words
A tender admission of falling in love despite better judgment.
Dylan takes on a much-loved romantic standard and sings it as a simple confession. The speaker admits that sensible people would warn him against hurrying into love, yet he finds he cannot stop himself and gives in completely. He likens his feeling to a river that has no choice but to run to the sea. The song asks nothing of the listener except to accept that some feelings arrive whether or not they are wise.
