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
