Why Can't I Stop Loving You
You know it’s over. You know you need to move on.
So why does every little thing remind you of what you’ve lost?
A tender country ballad about the space between accepting the end and waiting while your heart catches up.

Lyrics
WHY CAN’T I STOP LOVING YOU?
© Jim Molinelli
[Verse 1]
I pour steaming coffee, in the mug you got for me
Your mug is missing, a simple thing I can’t unsee
When our marriage ended, sharing coffee ended too
Now I sip all alone, and wonder “where are you?”
[Chorus]
Why can’t I stop loving you?
I know it’s what I need to do,
It’s very clear that we are through.
Why can’t I stop loving you?
[Verse 2]
I sorta make the bed, to help tidy up the room
And stare at the lone pillow, and blink in the gloom
I open the closet and pick a sweater that’s blue
I see the empty hangers, and whisper “where are you?”
[Chorus]
Why can’t I stop loving you?
I know it’s what I need to do,
It’s very clear that we are through.
Why can’t I stop loving you?
[solo]
[Verse 3]
I go sit on the porch, in the wood rocking chair
Try to settle myself, breathing in the country air,
But the person I trust, that I tell my problems to
Isn’t here to lend an ear… “where are you?”
[Chorus]
Why can’t I stop loving you?
I know it’s what I need to do,
It’s very clear that we are through.
Why can’t I stop loving you?
Prefer to listen where you already live?
