Reflections in my mind
Thoughts I can't define
My heart is racing and the night goes on
I can almost hear a laugh
Coming from your photograph
Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings
Well intended lies, contemplating alibi's
Is it really you or is it me, I'm blaming?
A distant memory, flashes over me
Even though you're gone I feel you deep inside
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh)
Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes
[Chorus]
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl
[Verse 2]
There's a window in the heart
I've tried to look through from the start
You're never really sure what someone else is thinking
Someone's broken something new
Another altered point of view
Just a certain someone's conscience playing
I had it in my hand, I did not understand
What lives inside the wind that cries her name
Tried to catch a shooting star
What seems so close can't be that far
Living in a dream that's never ending
[Pre-Chorus]
Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes
[Chorus]
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl
[Break]
[Ad-libs by Jon Anderson]
[Pre-Chorus]
Dancing with that look that's in your eyes
[Chorus]
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you
Loving you
