Can't Stop Loving You Lyrics - Singles - Joe Firstman

She was fading 

Couldn't save her with my cursing 

At the laughing Lord in his golden chair 

She said "Leave me alone boy 

Can't you see I'm dying here" 

And the chapel was as empty as the bus station on Sunday 

And she was sad in her rented gown 

And the preacher had his stock quotes 

Hiding behind our wedding notes 

And his shares were going down 

But I can't stop loving you baby 

But I can't stop hating myself 

So I stole her sunflowers hours before the service 

She was nervous and I was broke 

I couldn't be seen as I slipped between 

Some warm Jim Beam and my petticoat 

Didn't hear from her family 

They were somewhere between San Fran and San Antone 

Oh, sweet Lord had his mercy 

When he cursed me with a woman 

And I was damn sure happy being alone 

I didn't have the courage to tell her I was nervous 

And I was worthless to the bone 

She was laughing like a siren through the service 

'Cause she knew that I hated being alone 

Baby was a bruiser 

But she was the only girl I had ever known
