(Bill Anderson - Jan Howard)

The nights were dark and long
I spent a million all alone
But I never once stopped loving you
My world was cold and still
My dreams lay unfulfill
Oh, but I never once stopped loving you.

I'll never once stop believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
'Cause I never once stopped loving you.

--- Instrumental ---

I could have loved another
But I chose to wait and suffer
For I never once stopped loving you
I prayed to God to guide you
Until I could be beside you
No, I never once stopped loving you.

I'll never once stop believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
'Cause I never once stopped loving you...
