This song is about a man whose girl goes away, but his love for her never dies until the day that he himself dies - that's the day he stops loving her.
This was George Jones' comeback song after years of trouble with the law and addiction. He got a big career boost when it won for Single of the Year at the CMA awards and took a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
CMT named this the second-best country song of all-time. The #1 country song of all-time as named by CMT was Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man."
