Lyrics

LYRIC: Tom Toce
MUSIC: David Israel

WHEN DID I STOP LOVING YOU?

WHEN DID I STOP LOVING YOU?
HOW DID THE MUSIC DIE AWAY?
IT MUST HAVE HAPPENED SLOWLY--
AS SLOWLY AS A SUNRISE,
AS SURELY AS THE DARKNESS LEADS TO DAY.

WHEN DID I STOP LOVING YOU?
WHY DOES ROMANCE BECOME ROUTINE?
IT STARTED AS A MURMUR
THAT GRADUALLY GREW ANGRY
AND LEVELLED TO A THRUM SOMEWHERE IN-BETWEEN.

BUT I LOVED YOU,
I TRULY LOVED YOU,
AND IT HURTS ME SO TO KNOW
THAT IT WAS GOOD AND STRONG AND RIGHT,
AND THEN IT WASN'T.
BUT I LOVED YOU,
I TRULY LOVED YOU,
AND IF WISHING MADE IT SO,
YOU KNOW I'D WISH WITH ALL MY MIGHT;
BUT WISHING DOESN'T.

WHEN DID I STOP LOVING YOU?
HOW WILL I FIND THE STRENGTH TO TELL YOU?
I TELL MYSELF THAT THINGS WILL BE OKAY,
AND TRY TO KEEP THESE FEELINGS KEPT AT BAY.
AND LOOK! I MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER DAY.
WHEN DID I STOP? IT'S HARD TO KNOW,
AND OH, SO HARD TO SAY.
