She Never Stopped Loving Him - Patty Loveless

She used to sit and stare and dream that he was there

But she quit that

She made up her mind that someday she’d be fine

And she meant that

And she stopped drivin' by their old place

Now, it’s not that she don’t know the way

She just stopped, cause she had all she could take

But she never stopped lovin' him

There’s a place deep in her soul, a place she’ll always hold

Only for him

Still, she gets down on her knees, prays that she won’t be

Lonely for him

And she stopped wakin' up every night

Three o’clock, wanting him by her side

Yeah, she stopped, but no matter how hard she tried

She never stopped lovin' him

All the time they were together

He was all she ever needed in this world, but still somehow

There were things she didn’t tell him

She’s gonna tell him now

The leaves are off the trees

And the snow is awfully deep for December

She walks right up to him, she can’t quite find the words

But they’re in there

So she stops and says, «Since you’ve been gone

I have thought about how life must go on»

Then she stopped and placed a rose on his stone

Then left him alone

But she never stopped lovin' him
