She Never Stopped Loving Him

Loveless Patty

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 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
