Reflections in my mind, thoughts I can't define My heart is racing and the night goes on I can almost hear a laugh, coming from your photograph Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings Well intended lies, contemplating alibis Is it really you, or is it me I'm blaming A distant memory flashes over me Even though you're gone, I feel you deep inside Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes [Chorus:] I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl There's a window in a heart, I've tried to look through from the start You're never really sure what someone else is thinking Someone's broken something new, another altered point of view Just a certain someone's conscience playing I held it in my hand, I did not understand What lives inside the wind that cries her name Tried to catch a shooting star, what seems so close can't be that far I'm living in a dream that's never ending Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes [Chorus] Dancing with that look that's in your eyes [Chorus] I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few I won't stop till I'm through loving you, loving you...
