Patty Loveless She Never Stopped Loving Him
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
But 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 quiet 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
