Barry Manilow How Do I Stop Loving You? (Demo) lyrics

I'm trying so hard to forget you
And leave the life we had behind
And there are times I feel the day has come
I've chased you from my mind

But I'm afraid there's always something
That sets me back and makes me see
You're more than just a memory in the past
You're still a part of me

So how do I stop loving you?
Forget things that we used to do?
Forget all the dreams that we shared?
And how my life was knowing you cared?

Why do I end up where I start
Each time I try?
Just tell me how I can forget
So I can say goodbye

I'm tired of all the lonely evenings
And all the many times I've cried
I'm tired of wondering what I might have done
To keep you by my side


And reaching out across your pillow
I start remembering you're gone
And though I know that we can never be
The pain in me goes on

So how do I stop loving you?
Forget things that we used to do?
Forget all the dreams that we shared
And how my life was knowing you cared?

Why do I end up where I start
Each time I try?
Just tell me how I can forget
So I can say goodbye

So how do I stop loving you?
Please tell me why
I find it so hard to forget
And hard to say goodbye, goodbye
