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
