Lyrics
[intro steel guitar G – A – C – D – C – A – G]
(Chorus) I can't stop loving you
So 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
(Verse)
Those happy hours That we once knew.
Though 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
(Chorus)
I can't stop loving you
So 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
