When did you stop loving me?
How long have I been a memory?
I've gotta know for my own sanity
Tell me when did you stop loving me?

Was it that night that you stayed out until dawn?
You know that night has haunted me for so long
Or was your love already cold?
Tell me please, I've gotta know
Darling, when did you stop loving me?

There was a time when you worshiped where I stood
Heaven knows I'd bring it back if I could
Now I can tell when we make love
It ain't me you're thinking of
Tell me when did you stop loving me?

Darling when did you stop loving me?
