Heaven knows I've been forgetful

Lately my mind can't get no rest

And if it seems I've been neglectful

I'm just tired and I ain't been at my best



I know you've been missing my affection

It's making you think I'm moving on

You're worried I'm looking in a new direction

But this is what you'll see before I'm gone



Baby, the sun won't rise

The moon won't appear

The stars will fall

When I stop loving you

When I stop loving you

Somebody will close my eyes

And I'm gonna hear

The angels call

When I stop loving you

And my heart will beat no more



I know we all got to earn a living

But the hours and days go by so fast

Precious time I should be giving

To the one thing I always knew would last



Baby, the sun won't rise

The moon won't appear

The stars will fall

When I stop loving you

When I stop loving you

Somebody will close my eyes

And I'm gonna hear

The angels call

When I stop loving you

And my heart will beat no more



You know I've got to fine a way

To give you strength and make you secure

Please darling hold on

Our love will endure



Baby, the sun won't rise

The moon won't appear

The stars will fall

When I stop loving you

And my heart will beat no more
