"He Stopped Loving Her Today" lyrics
Jake Worthington & Country Never Dies Lyrics
(originally by George Jones)
He said, "I'll love you 'til I die."
She told him, "You'll forget in time."
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept some pictures on his wall
Went half-crazy now and then
But he still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Oh, dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single "I love you"
I went to see my friend today
Oh, but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
Soon, they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
You know, she came to see him one last time
Ah, and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
"This time, he's over her for good."
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
Soon, they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
She told him, "You'll forget in time."
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept some pictures on his wall
Went half-crazy now and then
But he still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Oh, dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single "I love you"
I went to see my friend today
Oh, but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
Soon, they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
You know, she came to see him one last time
Ah, and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
"This time, he's over her for good."
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
Soon, they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
