| I Can`t Stop Loving You by: Ray Charles Lyrics by: Don Gibson 1962 (I can`t stop loving you) I`ve made up my mind To live in memory 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 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 memory 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) Time has stood still (Since we`ve been apart) Since we`ve been apart (I can`t stop loving you) I said I made up my mind To live in memory Of the lonesome times...... |

You'd have to remove the music surgically." -- Ray Charles, from his autobiography at raycharles.com |
