Lyrics
- Sweetheart, you have asked me if I love you
With a love that always will be true
If I’m sure that time will never change me
This is my answer, dear, to you
Chorus
You can’t stop the winds from blowing
You can’t stop the sun’s bright light
You can’t stop the trees from growing
You can’t stop the moon at night
You can’t stop the birds from flying
You can’t stop the morning dew
You can’t stop the rose from dying
And you can’t stop me from loving you
- When your golden hair is turning gray, dear
And your eyes have lost their wondrous hue
When the roses from your cheeks have gone, dear
Then I will answer still to you
