When I Stop Loving You
Heaven knows I’ve been forgetful
Lately my mind can’t get no rest
And if it seems I’ve been neglectful
I’m just tired and I ain’t been at my best
I know you’ve been missing my affection
It’s making you think I’m moving on
You’re worried I’m looking in a new direction
But this is what you’ll see before I’m gone
Baby, the sun won’t rise
The moon won’t appear
The stars will fall
When I stop loving you
When I stop loving you
Somebody will close my eyes
And I’m gonna hear
The angels call
When I stop loving you
And my heart will beat no more
I know we all got to earn a living
But the hours and days go by so fast
Precious time I should be giving
To the one thing I always knew would last
Baby, the sun won’t rise
The moon won’t appear
The stars will fall
When I stop loving you
When I stop loving you
Somebody will close my eyes
And I’m gonna hear
The angels call
When I stop loving you
And my heart will beat no more
You know I’ve got to fine a way
To give you strength and make you secure
Please darling hold on
Our love will endure
Baby, the sun won’t rise
The moon won’t appear
The stars will fall
When I stop loving you
And my heart will beat no more
