I walk the lonely streets, I watch the people passing by. I used to smile and say hello. Guess I was just a happy guy. Then you happened, girl, This feeling that possesses me. I just can't move myself. I guess it all just had to be. [Chorus:] I can't see nobody, no, I can't see nobody. Mine eyes can only look at you, you. I used to have a brain, I used to think of many things. I watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing. Don't ask me why, little girl. I love you and that's all I can say. You're ev'ry ,ev'ry breath I take. You are my nights; my night and day. [Chorus] Every single word you hear Is coming from this heart of mine. I never felt like this before A love like yours so young and fine. And now as I try to forget you It doesn't work out any way. I loved you such a long time ago But in my eyes you'll always be. Every single word you hear Is coming from this heart of mine. I loved you such a long time ago Don't know why, And I don't know why, baby [Chorus: x2]
