Merle Haggard – Today I Started Loving You Again Lyrics

Today I Started Loving You Again
I’m right back where I’ve really always been;
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend,
then Today I Started Loving You Again.
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I’ve cried.
I should have known the worst was yet to come.
And that crying time for me had just begun.
‘Cause Today I Started Loving You Again,
I’m right back where I’ve really always been;
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend,
then Today I Started Loving You Again.
