?



You left one yesterday

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 youre 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?
