So you're leaving in the morning on the early train I could say everything's alright And I could pretend and say goodbye Got your ticket Got your suitcase Got your leaving smile I could say that's the way it goes And I could pretend and you won't know That I was lying Cause I can't stop loving you No I can't stop loving you No I won't stop loving you Why should I? We took a taxi to the station, not a word was said And I saw you walk across the road For maybe the last time, I don't know Feeling humble I heard a rumble On the railway track And when I hear that whistle blow I'll walk away and you won't know That I'll be crying Cause I can't stop loving you No I can't stop loving you No I won't stop loving you Why should I? Even try, I'll always be here by your side Why, why, why, I never wanted to say goodbye Why even try, I'll always be here if you Change, change your mind So you're leaving in the morning on the early train I could say everything's alright And I could pretend and say goodbye But that would be lying Cause I can't stop loving you No I can't stop loving you No I won't stop loving you Why should I even try?
