(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday (dreams of yesterday)
Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they 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)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Those happy hours) those happy hours
(That we once knew) that we once knew
(Tho' long ago) tho' long ago, (still make me blue) still make me blue
(They say that time) they say that time
(Heals a broken heart) heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still) but time has stood still
(Since we've been apart) since we've been apart
(I can't stop loving you)
I said I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday (of yesterday)
“I can’t stop loving” a certain person from my earlier years. Although we no longer see or talk to each other, my love for her has never diminished. Thirty years have passed, but I still love and miss you Jacky. I hope you have had a very happy life... Love always and forever. Ray. XXX
