Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So you're leaving
In the morning
On the early train
But I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leavin' smile
Oh, I could say that's the way it goes
And I could pretend, and you all know
That I was lying
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
[Verse 3]
We took a taxi
To the station
Not a word was said
And I saw you walk across the road
For maybe the last time, I don't know
Feelin' humble
Heard the rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow
I'll walk away and you won't know
That I'll be crying
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I? (Even try)
[Bridge]
I'll always be here by your side (Why, why, why?)
I never wanted to say goodbye (Why even try?)
I'm always here if you
Change, change your mind
[Verse 4]
So you're leaving
In the morning
On the early train
Well, I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
But that would be lying
[Chorus]
Because I can't stop loving you (Can't stop loving you)
No, I can't stop loving you (And I won't stop loving you)
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I? (Why should I even try?)
Because I can't stop loving you (Can't stop loving you)
No, I can't stop loving you (That's all I can do to keep from cryin')
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I? (Why should I?)
Why should I? (Tell me why)
Why should I
Even try?
