        A#
Today I passed you on the street
       D#                  A#
And my heart fell at your feet
        F7                                A#
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
         A#
Somebody else stood by your side
        D#              A#
And he looked so satisfied
         F7                                A# A#7
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

Chorus:
  D#                                  A#
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
       F7                                     A# A#7
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
      D#                            A#
Then suddenly, I got that old time feeling
         F7                               A#
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

It's hard to know, another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh, Heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
