[Verse 1] I asked you if you liked me, You told me no. I asked you if I was handsome, You told me no. I asked you if I was in your heart, You told me no. I asked you if you would cry if I went far away, You told me no. So I began to walk away, [Chorus] You can stop A stream from flowing, A nightingale from singing, But I cannot stop My heart from loving you… [Verse 2] You grabbed my hand and said: “I don’t like you… I love you. You’re not handsome… you’re beautiful. You’re not in my heart… you are my heart. I wouldn’t cry if you left… I would die.” [Chorus] You can stop A stream from flowing, A nightingale from singing, But I cannot stop My heart from loving you… [Verse 3] You cried, and I dried your tears. You screamed, and I chased away your fears. I held your hand through all those painful times. But today, all of that You have forgotten. To you, I’m only the memory Of a life you once lived— A love torn apart by destiny, The image of an angel with a broken heart And torn‑off wings… [Chorus] You can stop A stream from flowing, A nightingale from singing, But I cannot stop My heart from loving you… [Bridge] We came into this world alone, In the heart of the night, From infinity into the unknown. Just for one more brief moment, I feel safe in your arms. Don’t go… don’t abandon me… [Chorus] You can stop A stream from flowing, A nightingale from singing, But I cannot stop My heart from loving you…
