You took my heart away
 And now I dread each newborn day
 Can I help it?
 Can I help it?

 Along each thoroughfair
 While people stop and stare
 I talk to you but you?re not there
 Can I help it, sweetheart?

 I try to sleep
 My dreams are haunted
 By a million stars that pry
 How can I sleep?
 Your eyes look just that way
 The day we said goodbye...
 ?
 I tried forgetting you
 I tried to hurt you too
 But now I find I still love you
 Can I help it, sweetheart
