about

I wrote this song in one day, recorded a home-made demo and posted it on my website that same night. It was April 26, 2013, the day that George Jones passed away. When I heard it on the radio I went to the library to get some George Jones CDs and on one of the albums of old songs I heard a song called, "I'll Be Over You When The Grass Grows Over Me," which was written by Don Chapel, who just recently passed away. I thought how similar that theme was to the classic George Jones song, "He Stopped Loving Her Today," that was written by Bobby Braddock and Curly Putman. In both songs the guy pledges to love his woman until he dies. Well, I decided on the spot to take that theme a little further and I immediately came up with the line, "I'll love you ‘til the day they bury me, and then I'll start to love you for all eternity." Unlike the other two songs this guy doesn't stop loving her when he dies, he just starts loving her in a different dimension, he says, "my love transcends this lifetime, it'll never fade away." And I take it to the extreme when it ends with the line, "My heart may stop but I promise you, my love will never die." The song is very simple, there's no chorus, just two verses, a bridge and a last verse. No solo, nothing repeats. It's a George Jones song. I hope someone will honor him by recording this song in the style that he might have done it if he'd had the chance. It's my tribute song to one of the greatest country singers ever. I think it’s a very good country song. It could certainly be on someone’s album.

lyrics

My Love Will Never Die
(Bill Naughton, Jr.)
c 2015 Biliolga Music (ASCAP)

I'll love you 'til the day they bury me,
And then I'll start to love you, for all eternity,
There's nothing you can do to change my mind,
My heart may stop but my love will never die...

I'll live with all this love until the day,
They put me in a casket, and carry me away,
You probably think my feelings won't survive,
But I promise you my love will never die...

- chorus -

You may think that I'm half crazy, and in a way that might be true,
But ever since the day we met I've been in love with you,
And I believe my love will live beyond when I'm alive,
My heart may stop but I promise you my love will never die...

So don't forget what I'm telling you today,
My love transcends this lifetime, it'll never fade away,
Remember when we say our last goodbye,
I'll disappear but my love will never die...

My heart may stop but I promise you my love will never die...
