Lyric discussion by Octang 

I can't believe no one has commented on what is often ranked as the #1 country song of all time!

I think this song is about a guy whose wife or girlfriend left him, and he swore he would love her till he died. He kept true to his word, and died. Hense "He stopped loving her today."

Sometimes I wonder if his wife died before him, rather than breaking up with him. But the last verse said she came to his funeral.

An error occured.
