Story Behind The Song

Frank Grant, a frequent co-writer of mine, and I decided to try and come up with an anthemic modern country rhythm ballad. A story of ever-lasting love and dedication, even in a world that seems to reject such feelings. Troy Johnson was the perfect artist for this sentiment. To some, it might come off as cloying or mawkish, but to us, it seems just right.

Song Description

Troy Johnson sings a story of everlasting love.

Lyrics

When love goes outta style
And my heart don't sing each time you smile
When your every kiss don't feel brand new
Well, I, I'll stop lovin' you

When lovebirds don't take wing
When they can't remember how to sing
When Sherlock Holmes don't have a clue
Well, I, I'll stop lovin' you

'Til 8 o'clock comes just once a day
Instead of twice, the usual way
And your laugh don't sparkle like the fallin' rain
That's how long my love will stay

When the sand don't touch the sea
When the sea don't reach out and touch the sky
When the sky stays blue the whole night through
Well, I, I'll stop lovin' you

Oh, I, I'll stop lovin' you
When the sun comes up in the West

And I, I'll stop lovin' you
When the Good Lord takes a rest

Oh I, I'll stop lovin' you
When the Mississippi River runs dry

And I, till the day I die
That's when I'll stop lovin' you
