Memphis moon, on the water
Underneath a blanket of stars, just you and I
When love's right, it's like a raging river
You couldn't stop it if you tried
No more than you can stop the Mississippi from rolling down the New Orleans
No more than you can stop the wind from blowing, stop the grass from growing green
Oh there's some things a man can't do
I could never stop loving you
No more than I can stop the Mississippi from rolling down the New Orleans
Morning sun is slowly rising
All the stars above have faded one by one
But the way I feel is gonna last forever
You can't stop love once it's begun
No more than you can stop the Mississippi from rolling down the New Orleans
No more than you can stop the wind from blowing, stop the grass from growing green
Oh there's some things a man can't do
I could never stop loving you
No more than I can stop the Mississippi from rolling down the New Orleans
No more than I could stop the Mississippi from rolling down the New Orleans
