Lyrics
There’s a love in my heart that I’d been keepingI don’t know how to give it away to someone newOh you walked out the door and left me weepingAnd I can’t change overnight from loving youIf I can’t walk with you then I’ll walk all aloneWhere my feet touch the ground then that’s where I’ll call homeI don’t like all this loneliness that I go throughBut I can’t change overnight from loving youAll you say to forget the lips I used to kissFind someone to take the place of a love I once knewYes you walked out the door and left me weepingAnd I can’t change overnight from loving you
