Can I Help It?

You left one yesterday

You took my heart away

And now I dread each newborn day

Can I help it? Can I help it?

Along each thoroughfare

While people stop and stare

I talk to you, but you're not there

Can I help it, sweetheart?

I try to sleep

My dreams are haunted by a million stars that pry

How can I sleep?

Your eyes look just that way the day we said goodbye

I tried forgetting you

I tried to hurt you too

But now I find I still love you

Can I help it, sweetheart?
