    This isn't some imitator of other singers . This is an ORIGINAL singer. This is REAL country music. This is a LEGEND. This is the one and only, the original, the legendary GEORGE JONES!

I have no doubt that she met him at heavens gates and they are together for all eternity in heaven togeather. My their souls rest in Eternal Peace with Almighty God.

    This is my favorite version, missed notes and all, It was full of emotion, and at the end, the joy he had for the best of Nashville, showing up to honor him was genuine. Country wouldn't have survived without possum, and a few others back in the late 70's and early 80's to inspire the stars of today and up and coming stars in the future. Rest in Peace Possum.

      This is one of the few country artists I'm glad to say I did see. At the 1984 World's Fair Liggett and Meyer's Amphitheater. During the show, the curtains would open on the back of the stage showing a panoramic view of the Mississippi River with the barges and steamboats passing. It was a shame they tore it down after the World's Fair. I remember him starting the show with none other than No Show Jones. Also saw Charlie Pride there. Both too awesome shows

    I am sure many can relate to this song somewhere in their life, for me it was my Dad, he didn't listen to Country Music, but the song was his life about my mother, married 44 years at the time of his death, she left so many times, yet he took her back every time she showed up. Funny how life is! This song was playing on the car radio when I walked out of the hospital the day he died, it still brings me to my knees!

      He said "I'll love you till 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 nineteen sixty-two
      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
      He stopped loving her today
      They placed a wreath upon his door
      And soon they'll carry him away
      He stopped loving her today
      You know, she came to see him one last time
      Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she would
      And it kept runnin' through my mind "this time he's over her for good"
      He stopped loving her today
      They placed a wreath upon his door
      And soon they'll carry him away
      He stopped loving her today

    My daddy loved my mother so much but he was a alcoholic and she couldn’t live with him anymore. They divorced in 1978. He never remarried and never got over her. He died in 2017 and I played this song because I always felt it was the only song that was him.

But people talking about George ‘s voice cracking-- shhhttt id pay triple to set and listen to him read the dam phonebook!!!!! George Jones the greatest singer in country music RIP

    I'll never forget the moment I realized what this song meant. I had always heard it but never understood it until I was going through my Dad's cd collection when I was 12, just after Johnny Cash died. I could feel the emotion, the heartache, in it. It was the first time (and one of the only since then) that I felt a song rip my heart out.

    Sirius Country Radio did a show earlier this year in which they played their list of the top 1000 country songs. Obviously it took a few days to play them all, but I look forward to hearing this at the very end. While this made it to the top 10 (maybe even top 5), I was INCENSED that it wasn’t #1 -which in my mind it will always be. NO ONE could sing like George Jones. His timing & phrasing was genius. Very glad to know he lived his last 13 years a sober man. He was a gift to the world. Long live this song AND the ol’ Possum! 🌹🙏🏻❤️✌🏻
