Connie Smith – I Never Once Stopped Loving You lyrics

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 unfulfilled
But I never once stopped loving you

I never once stopped believing
We’d love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you

I could have loved another but I chose the way and suffered
For I never once stopped loving you
And I prayed to God to guide you till I could be beside you
And I never once stopped loving you

Oh, I never once stopped believing
We’d love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you
