So you're leaving In the morning On the early train I could say everything's alright I could pretend and say good bye Got your ticket Got your suitcase Got your leaving smile I could say that's the way it goes I could pretend and you won't know That I was lying 'Cause I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you No, I can't stop loving you Though I try Took a taxi To the station Not a word was said I saw you walk across the road Maybe the last time, I don't know Feeling humble I heard a rumble On the railway track And when I hear the whistle blow I walk away and you don't know That I was lying 'Cause I can't stop loving you No, I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you Though I try 'Cause I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you No, I can't stop loving you Though I try
