Don't Tell Me

(Buddy Miller/Julie Miller)

Tell my heart to stop beating

Tell my mind not to think

Thrown a stone in the ocean

And tell that stone not to sink

Tell the world to stop turnin' around

Tell the sky not to be so blue

Tell the rain to stop fallin' down like tears

But don't tell me to stop loving you

Don't tell me to stop loving you

Tell the past to be forgotten

Tell my life not to exist

Tell a promise made to be unspoken

And my lips not to have been kissed

Tell the world to stop turnin' around

Tell the sky not to be so blue

Tell the rain to stop fallin' down like tears

But don't tell me to stop loving you

Don't tell me to stop loving you

I can't do it, I can't stop

It's something that love has sealed

Only the broken-hearted know the way I feel

Tell the world to stop turnin' around

Tell the sky not to be so blue

Tell the rain to stop fallin' down like tears

But don't tell me to stop loving you

Don't tell me to stop loving you
