He Stopped Loving Her Today
George Jones
Words and Music by Bob Braddock and Claude PutmanJr.

(peak Billboard position # 1 in 1980)

He said "I ll love you till I die"she told him "You ll forget in time"
As the years went slowly byshe still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wallwent half-crazy now and then
He still loved her through it allhoping 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 todayoh but I didn t see no tears
All dressed up to go awayfirst 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
You knowshe came to see him one last time. Aww n 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
