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
my first love still lingers in my mind, certain dates and some songs like the Platters, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", reminds me of her, i almost killed myself the night she told me, "i don't love you any more", at the time, we were engaged to be married four months later. i never found out why she broke it off...., and most likely never will.
some day, i will stop loving her............, [:(]
I AGREE WITH YOU 100% ON THIS!!!!
"He stopped Loving her today is without doubt the saddest song I've heard, and I'm NOT a George Jones fan!!![:(][:(][:(][:(][:(]

I wore out a tape of Grand Tour after my first wife, and tried to drink myself into the grave. Even today it brings up emotions I hate feeling.
Sandy came into my life and saved me from all the heartach I felt, until Jeremy died, and I went down that whiskey road again.
She saved me once more, and I don't know how she had the strength because she was living the same hell as I was, but somehow she found a way.
When Josh died, it was my turn to do my part. I felt what the real pain of losing a child was without a whiskey chaser. She was weakened from her stroke, and it was my turn to be the rock for someone to lean on.
It isn't pleasant, and some days are harder than others, but I'm thankful God has given me the strength to be here for her. It's about time I was able to give back to her, some of what she's given me.
Songs sometimes bring up feelings, but only feelings of things we've experienced or witnessed. Some are generally close, and some hit the nail on the head. I have to avoid those.
When I remember your story it makes a little embarrassed to feel sorry for myself over my wife's recent suicide. God bless you, man!!!
I didnt click on all the links so I'm not sure if this was posted yet. When I'm feelin like crap missing my Mom I go to my favorites on youtube and listen to this one.

Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)
I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunlight and the shadows of her eyes
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I'd never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money love and time we had to spend
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Coming close together with a feeling that I've never known before in my time
She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answers to the easy way she opened every door to my mind
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
And loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again.............

It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books
Sting. "I'm so happy I can't stop crying", A Brit's take on a Country and Western song that tells the pain of a father going through a divorce and child custody.
The line "What can a father do but babysit sometimes" Gets me every time.
Seven weeks have passed now since she left me
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says the kids are fine and that they miss me
Maybe I could come and baby-sit sometime
She says, "Are you O.K.? I was worried about you
Can you forgive me? I hope that you'll be happy."
i said: I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears
I saw a friend of mine
He said, "I was worried about you
I heard she had another man,
I wondered how you felt about it?"
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing though my tears
Saw my lawyer, Mr Good News
He got me joint custody and legal separation
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears
I'm laughing through my tears
I took a walk alone last night
I looked up at the stars
To try and find an answer in my life
I chose a star for me
I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife
Something made me smile
Something seemed to ease the pain
Something about the universe and
how it's all connected
The park is full of Sunday
fathers and melted ice cream
We try to do the best within the given time
A kid should be with his mother
Everybody knows that
What can a father do but baby-sit sometimes?
I saw that friend of mine, he said,
"You look different somehow"
I said, "Everybody's got to leave
the darkness sometime"
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears
I'm laughing through my tears

I was on a security detail, standing next to the stage, while the Tejas Brothers were playing. The lady standing next to me had something to do with the promotion of the show. The Tejas Brothers performed "He Stopped Loving Her Today," in such a way as to make George Jones smile. It was a real tearjerker.
I remarked to the lady that I thought that "He Stopped Loving Her Today" is the saddest Country & Western song ever written. She disagreed. She thought that "The Grand Tour," another George Jones song, is the saddest.
I could not remember "The Grand Tour," so I had to look it up later. It's sad all right, but not nearly as sad as "He Stopped Loving Her Today."
What say you? What is the saddest Country & Western song ever written?
Anything Hank Sr. wrote....He started "Honky Tonk"..which is tear jerker extraordinaire.. Some songs mean different situations, Hank seemed to have one for all! " I'm still in love with you"..
