cannot touch
cannot hold
cannot be together
cannot love
cannot kiss
cannot have each other
must be strong
and we must let go
cannot say what our hearts must know
how can I not love you

chorus:
what do I tell my heart
when do I not want you
here in my arms
how does one waltz away from all of the the memories
how do I not miss you when you're gone

cannot dream
cannot share
sweet and tender moments
cannot feel how we feel
must pretend it's over
must be brave and we must go on
must not say what we've known all along
how can I not love you

chorus

how can I not love you
must be brave and we must be strong
cannot say what we've known all along
how can i not love you
why do i tell my heart
when do i not want you here in my arms
how does one waltz away from all of the memories
how do i not miss you when you are gone
how can i not love youwhen you are gone?
