He Stopped Lovin' Her Today

He Stopped Lovin' Her Today
written by George Jones, Bobby Braddock and Curly Putnam, performed by George

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

Kept some letters by his bed, dated 1962
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

(Chorus)
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)
You know she came to see him one last time
Oh and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good

(chorus)
