Lyrics
Today I passed you on the streetAnd my heart fell at your feetI can’t help it if I’m still in love with you.Somebody else stood by your sideAnd he looked so satisfiedI can’t help it if I’m still in love with you.A picture from the past came slowly stealingAs I brushed your arm and walked so close to youThen suddenly I’ve got that old time feelingI can’t help it if I’m still in love with you
