He Stopped Loving Her Today Lyrics - Singles - 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 her picture on his wall 

Went half crazy now and then 

He still loved her through it all 

Hoping she'd come back again. 

Found love letters by his bed 

Dated 19 and 62 

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 

And soon they'll carry him away 

He stopped loving her today. 

(Spoken) 

Ya' know she came to see him one last time 

Oh, we all wondered if she would 

And it kept running through my mind 

This time he's over her for good. 

(Sang) 

He stopped loving her today 

They placed a wreath upon his door 

And soon they'll carry him away 

He stopped loving her today...

(Lyrics note: There are several lyrical versions of this song. 

The only difference I can find is in the 3rd, the 1st line. 

The alternate version reads Kept some letters by his bed. 

Another difference is in the 4th I went to see my 

friend today may be found saying I went to see him just today)
