LeAnn Rimes - He Stopped Loving Her Today Lyrics






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

[Repeat Chorus]

LeAnn Rimes He Stopped Loving Her Today Comments
  1. C.... N....

    Talent, talent, talent!

  2. a.... b....

    One of the best songs ever written.

  3. E.... P....

    Nice ... but a mans song really , it sort of loses the vulnerability with a woman singing it , she was right about it being the best country song ever written though

  4. A.... M....

    I came across this song being sung by George Jones about a year ago. Sung it with Jones without really paying attention to the lyrics and just going with the flow of the music. It made me cry this time realizing what the song was all about.

  5. R.... P....

    Great voice.

  6. f.... s....

    LeAnn should do a brand new Country album with the best country classics ever.

  7. 4.... 4....

    I bet even ole' George would have been impressed with this rendition.

  8. l.... b....

    ken morris loves this song

  9. A.... N....

    Her voice is not the typical country voice. A big voice that sounded almost like a black singer. She is so great.

  10. S.... ....

    NBET--------Nothing but endless talent.

  11. L.... N....

    I want to spend what little I got left with you... I am sure..

  12. V.... C....

    Excellent rendition. Stark and bluesy the way it’s supposed to be

  13. d.... ....

    Not today honey you stopped the day you thought you started

  14. S.... L....

    This damn song breaks my heart. There is a common believe in the world that men lack emotion and feelings. We may not be great at expressing them but if you look at some of the world's greatest art produced by men in any genre you can see the depth of feeling and emotion.

  15. A.... I....

    Love it

  16. D.... B....

    Bhá!!!

  17. r.... t....

    ever notice that there are some songs and singers that you can listen to hundreds of times and want even more again. whew

  18. r.... t....

    anyone want to try and sing this classic better? this woman is epic....makes me cry.

  19. m.... c....

    BRILLIANT RENDITION 💓 CLASSY!!!!

  20. I.... ....

    This Is One SUPER Country Lady. xxxx

  21. s.... s....

    Forgot how amazing she is!

  22. 4.... ....

    Could use more Cowbell.

  23. R.... S....

    LeAnn always hits every note perfectly to key.

    R.... S....

    @countrygirl countrymusiclover Girl, what happened? He drank your last bottle of whiskey? What's with all that useless hatred?

    R.... S....

    @reddragonready *YOU'RE A SICK PSYCHOPATH. AND KNOWING THAT DRUNK ALCOHOLIC SACK OF SHIT HE PROBABLY WOULD OF DRANK IT. I FUCKING HATE HIM BECAUSE OF TAMMY WYNETTE. ALSO SICK SACK OF BITCH IT'S NOT HATRED. I DON'T LOOK AT IT LIKE THAT WHEN IT'S THE COLD HARD TRUTH. GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME YOU BITCH*

    R.... S....

    @reddragonready also it's *USEFUL* not *USELESS*

    R.... S....

    @countrygirl countrymusiclover Nope..it really IS useless because you are just wasting time shouting at people on youtube.

    Useful would be if you'd spend that time extending your vocabulary so you could express your utterly useless hatred in better, and perhaps even, dare I entertain the possibility, more varied manner.
    Also newsflash..both Tammy and George are dead for quite some time already.

    Hey, here's a thought..instead of wasting your time screaming profanities on youtube, you could be volunteering with your local organisation helping battered women. Ya know..use your anger in a more productive way!

    R.... S....

    countrygirl countrymusiclover Hate him all you want, but George is still considered the finest male singer in country history.

  24. R.... W....

    this Lady has the best voice in country

  25. P.... M....

    I vote for Travis Page!!

  26. E.... J....

    B suka..

  27. A.... N....

    Some songs are for men to sing, sorry this performance doesn't turn me into a balling whimp like Georges does.

    A.... N....

    When Dolly Parton sings it, I start writing out my own eulogy. Wheres my kleenex

    A.... N....

    *BALLING* is black people slang for how they live. I know that and I live in the backwoods of Tennessee. *BAWLING* means to cry. And I don't blame you if I had to that annoying shitty pathetic ear piercing ear bleeding dying cow voiced George jones I would bawl my eyes out too. I have never even heard his version all the way through. Heard bits and pieces and he *SUCKS*. I've only heard this all the way through from covers by *REAL TALENTS* and *REAL SINGERS* like Craig campbell alan jackson Josh turner and Leann rimes

    A.... N....

    @Irondogart damn I didn't know dolly had a version until I read your comment. Now I can add dolly to the list of covers that are better than that sack of shit George jones. I don't even need to hear Dolly's version to know it's equally as incredible as the other covers I've heard from *REAL TALENTS* and *REAL SINGERS* like dolly Craig campbell josh turner and Alan jackson. I've heard Craig Alan josh and Leann's versions but never dolly. Even if I had never heard leann craig Josh or Alan's versions I would of known that their versions were better in general because of how INSANELY talented they all are

    A.... N....

    And speaking of a whimp George jones was a whimp. What *REAL GENTLEMAN* would *EVER* lay an abusive hand on a female especially his wife that he supposedly loved. He didn't love Tammy. How the hell Tammy chose to stand by her man instead of getting a D-I-V-O-R-C-E from him is beyond me

  28. c.... ....

    absolutely the best version except for the Possum

    c.... ....

    GEORGE JONES NEVER HAD THE BEST ANYTHING. I HAVE HEARD COVERS FROM *REAL SINGERS* *REAL LEGENDS* AND *REAL TALENTS* LIKE ALAN JACKSON AND LEANN RIMES AND I'VE HEARD THIS FROM TALENTED CRAIG CAMPBELL AND TALENTED JOSH TURNER. *ALL* OF THEM BLOW THAT NO TALENT GEORGE JONES OUT OF ANY KIND OF WATER. GEORGE JONES JUST BLEW PERIOD BECAUSE HE SUCKED SO BAD

    c.... ....

    countrygirl countrymusiclover Calm down.

  29. J.... T....

    Gorgeous in EVERY way!

    J.... T....

    John-CVI TheBassPlayer : way

  30. G.... P....

    There should be a law declaring that no one be allowed to perform this song other than George Jones. Some songs can NOT be duplicated in authenticity, soul or voice.

    G.... P....

    GEORGE JONES WILL FOREVER BE ONE OF THE WORST OF ALL TIME IN ANY GENRE. I'VE ONLY HEARD THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH FROM COVERS BY *REAL SINGERS* AND *REAL TALENTS* LIKE ALAN JACKSON JOSH TURNER CRAIG CAMPBELL LEANN RIMES AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKING I CAME ACROSS A VERSION FROM VINCE GILL ONE TIME. I KNOW VINCE DID A COVER OF SHE THINKS I STILL CARE BUT I SWORE I'VE HEARD HIM DO HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY

    G.... P....

    I hear you, but listen to this tribute by Alan Jackson at the Possum's funeral. He does George proud. As close as it gets.
    https://youtu.be/GbjpbqowX3Y

  31. M.... B....

    Just like George's other song "who's going to fill their shoes" . Nobody will. Ever.

  32. M.... C....

    Love the song... hate this performance of it!

    M.... C....

    THEN GO LISTEN TO THE WORST VERSION EVER MADE OF HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY BY GEORGE JONES AND GET AS FAR AWAY FROM HERE AS YOU CAN GET. I'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD THE ORIGINAL ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND NEVER WILL BUT I DO KNOW WHAT JONES VOICE SOUNDS LIKE AND IT IS ANNOYING AS FUCK. THAT BITCH NEVER COULD SING TO SAVE HIS LIFE. IT WAS EAR PIERCING EAR BLEEDING AND OFF KEY TO THE FUCKING CORE. OFF KEY EAR PIERCING AND EAR BLEEDING IS EXACTLY WHAT JONES WAS HIS ENTIRE CAREER. HOW DID HE EVEN GET A RECORD DEAL???

    M.... C....

    your full shit

  33. C.... R....

    I COULD JUST SCREAM...U COULD THOUGHT IT WAS ELVIS. SHE SUNG THIIS SONG. OMG

    C.... R....

    *HOW THE FUCK COULD SOMEBODY MISTAKE THIS SMOOTH AS BUTTER ANGELIC FEMININE ON KEY PERFECTION TO THE FUCKING CORE VOICE AS FUCKING SHITTY MASCULINE ANNOYING OFF KEY AS FUCK SHITTY ELVIS PRESLIE'S VOICE???? GET THE FUCK OFF HERE. THIS SOUNDS NOTHING ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THAT ELVIS BITCH

  34. T.... B....

    Thank God this version is back!  It's the best one!

  35. J.... L....

    beautiful woman performing a beautiful song. doesn't get any better (Y)

  36. s.... ....

    'The Voice.'

  37. S.... M....

    Love this song and this performance. It works beautifully with a very simple arrangement and none of the flash and fireworks of some modern songs.

  38. A.... M....

    Fantastic only word for this version
