When I get through a day
And you're not on my mind
That's when I'll stop lovin' you
But it'll take a long long time
I don't think that I'll get over you today
Or tomorrow feelin' this way
When I get through a day
And you're not on my mind
That's when I'll stop lovin' you
But it'll take a long long time
It's been awhile now since I felt your touch
And I miss it oh I miss it so much
When I can be around you
And not feel like I'm gonna die
That's when I'll stop lovin' you
But it'll take a long long time
Maybe someday it'll be over and done
But I don't know if that time will ever come
When I stop feelin' this emptiness inside
That's when I'll stop lovin' you
But it'll take a long long time
