[Verse 1]
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

Toto

Toto is an American rock band formed in 1977 in Van Nuys in Los Angeles, California. The band’s current lineup consists of Joseph Williams (lead vocals), David Paich (keyboards, vocals), Steve Porcaro (keyboards), Steve Lukather (guitars, vocals), Shem von Schroeck (bass), and Shannon Forrest (drums). Toto is known for a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, blues, and jazz.

David Paich and Jeff Porcaro had played together as session musicians on several albums and decided to form a band. David Hungate, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcaro, and Bobby Kimball were recruited before their first album release. The band enjoyed great commercial success in the late 1970s and 1980s, beginning with the band’s eponymous debut released in 1978. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV from 1982, Toto became one of the best-selling music groups of their era. They are best known for the Top 5 hits “Hold the Line”, “Rosanna”, and “Africa”. Several changes to the lineup have been made over the years. Hungate left in 1982 followed by Kimball in 1984 but rejoined the band in 1998 until 2008. Jeff Porcaro died in 1992 of a heart attack. Hungate rejoined Toto as a touring musician and later a band member. In 2008, Lukather announced his departure from the band, and the remaining band members later went their separate ways. In the summer of 2010, Toto reformed and went on a short European tour, with a new lineup, to benefit Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and was no longer an active member of the band.

The band has released a total of 17 albums, and have sold over 40 million albums to date. The group was honored with several Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009.
