He Stopped Loving Her Today Lyrics - Do You Know Me: A Tribute To George Jones - Sammy Kershaw

He said "I'll love you till 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 

Kept some letters by his bed 

Dated nineteen sixty-two 

He had underlined in red 

Every single "I love you" 

I went to see him just 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 

You know, she came to see him one last time 

Aww, and we all wondered if she would 

And it kept runnin' through my mind 

"This time he's over her for good" 

He stopped loving her today 

They placed a wreath upon his door 

And soon they'll carry him away 

He stopped loving her today
