Date:  December 7, 1998

Album:

Written by:  Don Gibson

Note:  This song was the B side to Oh Lonesome Me.  The studio heads

didn't think this song was really sellable.  But Don pointed out that since it was the B side it didn't really have to be hot selling song.  Studio agreed.  What a surprise it must have been for them all when this 45rpm turned out to be a double sided hit record.  This is the most re-recorded song in the history of music.  

I don't have this song so I don't know if these are any recordings chords but they sound good.  



       I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU      Don Gibson



D7           G     G7           C

Those happy hours that we once knew

              G                  A7

Though long a-go still  make me blue

D7             G     G7             C

They say that time heals a broken heart

                     G     D7               G    C  G  

But time has stood still since we've been apart



CHORUS I:

G7             C                            G 

I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind

            D7                      G

To live in memory of old lonesome times

G7              C                         G

I can't stop wanting you It's useless to say

              D7                               G   C G 

So I'll just live my life in dreams of yester-day



Repeat first verse but go to chorus II



CHORUS II

G7              C                          G

I can't stop loving you there's no use to try

                  D7                        G

Pretend there's someone new I can't live a lie

G7              C                       G

I can't stop wanting you the way that I do

              D7                                    G   C G

There's only been one love for me that one love is you
