I Can't Stop Loving You
Elvis Presley Lyrics

And I can't stop loving you
The singer is unable to stop feeling deep affection towards the person they are speaking to.

I said, "I made up, made up my mind"
The singer has decided to continue loving the person, despite any obstacles that may arise.

To live in memory
The singer intends to keep their feelings alive by reminiscing about the past.

Of such an long lonesome time
The artist has been lonely for an extended period of time and misses the person deeply.

I can't stop wanting you
The artist continues to have a strong desire to be with the person, even though they are apart.

I said, "It's useless to say"
The singer recognizes that expressing their feelings to the person would be pointless.

So I'll just live my life
The singer will proceed with their daily life, but continue to hold onto their feelings for the person.

In dreams of yesterday
The artist will relive the happy memories and times they shared in their mind as a way to cope with their current situation.

Now those happy hours
The artist is reminiscing about the times they spent together, which were happy.

All that we once knew
The artist is referring to the shared experiences and memories from when they were together.

They're so long ago (so long ago)
The singer is acknowledging that it has been a significant amount of time since they were together.

They still make, make me blue
The artist is saddened by the fact that the happy memories they shared are in the past and can no longer be experienced.

Ah they say, "that time
The singer references a common saying which suggests that time can heal emotional wounds.

It heals a broken heart"; oh yes, it does
However, the singer feels that even though time may heal some wounds, their feelings for the person have not faded with time.

Ah, but time has stood still
The singer feels as though time has not moved on since they were last with the person and are still stuck in the past.
