Lyrics
Opened my eyes, found you were gone
And I suddenly realised now I'm all alone
Since you've been gone nothing's the same
I wake in the dead of the night and I start calling your name
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't help myself
It's what I want to do
I just can't stop missing you
Couldn't forget you baby even if I wanted to
You're on my mind every day
Sometimes I close my eyes and pretend you're here to stay Baby come back, come back to me
Come right back to the place in my life where you're meant to be
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't help myself
It's what I want to do
I just can't stop missing you
Couldn't forget you baby even if I wanted to
I tell myself that I've got to be strong
But my poor heart doesn't want to move on
So here I am left nursing my heart
Trying to get on with my life and stop falling apart
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't help myself
It's what I want to do
I just can't stop missing you
Couldn't forget you baby even if I wanted to
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't help myself
It's all I want to do
I just can't stop missing you Even if I wanted to
It's what I want to do
