  • Each time the wind blows
    I hear your voice so
    I call your name
    Whispers at morning
    Our love is dawning
    Heaven's glad you came

    You know how I feel
    This thing can't go wrong
    I'm so proud to say I love you
    Your love's got me high
    I long to get by
    This time is forever
    Love is the answer

    I hear your voice now
    You are my choice now
    The love you bring
    Heaven's in my heart
    At your call
    I hear harps
    And angels sing

    You know how I feel
    This thing can't go wrong
    I can't live my life without you

    I just can't hold on

    I feel we belong
    My life ain't worth living
    If I can't be with you

    I just can't stop loving you
    I just can't stop loving you
    And if I stop
    Then tell me just what will I do

    'Cause I just can't stop loving you

    At night when the stars shine
    I pray in you I'll find
    A love so true

    When morning awakes me
    Will you come and take me?
    I'll wait for you

    You know how I feel
    I won't stop until
    I hear your voice saying
    "I do"

    "I do"
    This thing can't go wrong

    This feeling's so strong

    Well, my life ain't worth living

    If I can't be with you
    I just can't stop loving you
    I just can't stop loving you
    And if I stop
    Then tell me, just what will I do

    I just can't stop loving you

    We can change all the world tomorrow
    We can sing songs of yesterday
    I can say, "Hey farewell" to sorrow
    This is my life and I
    Want to see you for always

    I just can't stop loving you
    I just can't stop loving you
    If I can't stop!
    And if I stop
    Then tell me, just what will I do

    I just can't stop loving you
    I just can't stop loving you
    You know I do
    Then tell me, just what will I do Writer/s: Michael Jackson

  • Chad Eicher from Apple Creek, OhioI hate to correct you, Erin. Michael died ON 6/25/09 and not 7/3/09. Not wanting to be harsh or mean in any way.
  • Chad Eicher from OhioMichael used that song on both the Bad world tour and the Dangerous tour. If he were alive, he would sing that song for his this is it concert residency at the O2 arena in London with Judith Hill. Also, there was a Spanish version called "Todo Mi Amor Eres Tu" and the Glee version was performed by both Cory Monteith and Leah Michelle.
  • Carol from West VirginiaI absolutely love this song. MJ was a wonderful talented artist.
  • Daniel from BrazilThere is also a French version of the song, Je Ne Veux Pas La Fin de Nous.
  • Robyn from Philadelphia, PaIt was cut for the following reasons: time, space & of course, MJ was shy about it.
  • Shauna from Atlatna, GaAnnabelle, maybe Mike the intro was too cheesy.
  • Erin from Boston, Massachusetts, Maquintessential love song.... RIP MJ 7/3/09
  • Jamie from Lancaster, EnglandSimply a superb song. Can somebody tell me if a video was ever released with this single. I can't ever remember seeing it......thanks
  • Helena from London, EnglandI LOVE THIS SONG! MJ true spirit never dies!
  • Chris from Saline, MiSiedah Garrett - one of the most ubiquitous singers of all time whom hardly anyone knows. She also co-wrote and sang on Jacko's "Man In The Mirror" from the same album.

    According to Siedah, she didn't even know she was going to duet with Michael on "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" until the day she went to the recording studio expecting to work on "Man In The Mirror" and found only Michael and Quincy Jones there (she had expected to see the Andrae Crouch choir who also sang on "Man In The Mirror"). Quincy had already sent her a tape of "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" but Siedah had assumed the song was for her own album she was working on at the time. Quincy asked Siedah if she was prepared to sing the song, she said yes and stepped up to the mike, and the rest is history.
  • Chris from Saline, MiPaul - don't forget "If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful" (it's because they're looking at you). That duet with Jermaine actually made it to Whitney's greatest hits.

    As for why the spoken intro was left off future versions of the song... it was probably cut off the single/the version of the song played on radio stations to make it shorter and more suitable for radio.
  • Francesca from Napoli, ItalyI LOVE THIS SONG,I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON,HE IS THE KING OF POP
  • Sarah Floyd from Bloomingdale, Ilwhy did jacko leave the group. well at least he is happy the way he is right. and this song is my favorite song. and i wish i can meet him now but i think it is not going to happen.
  • Annabelle from Eugene, OrIn this song, there's a spoken intro that was left off of future Releases of "Bad" and the 1995 Release "History". What the heck? Was the spoken intro too provocative?
  • Jam Kemal from Lindua, South AfricaA classic duet with Siedah Garrett(he toured with him for his Dangerous world Tour 1992/93), actually Jackson wrote it to be a duet with Whitney.
  • Paul from Malibu, Cawhy did Whitney say no to Michael but duetted with Jermaine at least 3 times - take good care of my heart,Nobody Loves Me Like You Do ,shock me.is there more Whitney+ Jermaine duets ?
