I Can’t Stop Loving You

I can’t stop loving you
I’ve made up my mind
To live in memories
Of old lonesome time

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
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
Done made up my mind
To live in memories
Of old lonesome time

Just can’t stop wanting you
It’s useless to say
I’ll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday

These are the original lyrics of I Can’t Stop Loving You which was written by Don Gibson. There are many versions of the song. Jim Reeves made the version I grew up hearing. Other versions include Don Gibson’s original and ones by Elvis Presley and Ray Charles.
