Tell me now to just walk away
Say our lumps are of your past
Tell me to stay not another day
I should have known it would never last

But don't tell my heart to stop loving you
You know that's more than my heart can do
Now and for all of my whole life through
Don't tell my heart to stop loving you

Tell me the hurt will soon be gone
And once again I'll learn how to smile
Say that my tears won't stay too long
Tell me it takes just a little while

But don't tell my heart to stop loving you
You know that's more than my heart can do
Now and for all of my whole life through
Don't tell my heart to stop loving you

Though I know it's over now, for me it never will be
You'll go on to someone else, forgetting all about me

Don't tell my heart to stop loving you
You know that's more than my heart can do
Now and for all of my whole life through
Don't tell my heart to stop loving you
Now and for all of my whole life through
Don't tell my heart to stop loving you
