Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago, still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you
So I've made up my mind
To live in memory
Of old lonesome times

I can't stop wanting you
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

I can't stop loving you
There's no use to try
Pretend there's some one new
I can't live a lie

I can't stop wanting you
The way that I do
There's only been one love for me
That one love is you
