(buddy miller/julie miller)

tell my heart to stop beating
tell my mind not to think
thrown a stone in the ocean
and tell that stone not to sink

tell the world to stop turnin´ around
tell the sky not to be so blue
tell the rain to stop fallin´ down like tears
but don´t tell me to stop loving you
don´t tell me to stop loving you

tell the past to be forgotten
tell my life not to exist
tell a promise made to be unspoken
and my lips not to have been kissed

tell the world to stop turnin´ around
tell the sky not to be so blue
tell the rain to stop fallin´ down like tears
but don´t tell me to stop loving you
don´t tell me to stop loving you

i can´t do it, i can´t stop
it´s something that love has sealed
only the broken-hearted know the way i feel

tell the world to stop turnin´ around
tell the sky not to be so blue
tell the rain to stop fallin´ down like tears
but don´t tell me to stop loving you
don´t tell me to stop loving you
