I Never Stopped Lovin' You
John Michael Montgomery Lyrics

I guess everybody goes to the grocery store, even me
It's a mundane activity, but even I have to do it.

There's no tellin' who in the world there you're gonna see
You might bump into people from the past, even those you did not expect.

Lost in space at the cash-only aisle number three
The singer was preoccupied, not paying attention to the surroundings.

I came face-to-face with an old memory
The artist encountered someone from their past unexpectedly.

Caught by surprise I felt I was gasping for air
The artist was shocked to see the person from their past and felt overwhelmed.

Paper or plastic can't you see man I don't really care
The singer was not concerned about the type of bag to use, they were more focused on the encounter.

She hadn't noticed me and I thought I'd leave it that way
The singer was hesitant to approach the person from their past.

Then her eyes met mine and from that point there was no escape
Once eye contact was established, the encounter became inevitable.

I said it's wonderful to see you
The artist expressed joy at the unexpected encounter.

This is sure a nice surprise
The artist acknowledged the pleasantness of the encounter.

Your little girl is lovely
The singer complimented the person's child.

No doubt she's got your eyes
The artist noticed a resemblance between the child and the person.

Yeah, it looks like it might rain today
The singer made casual small talk about the weather.

But I guess we're overdue
The singer acknowledged that they had not seen the person in a long time.

Oh and by the way, I never stopped lovin' you
The singer revealed their true feelings to the person from their past.

I remember where you got that sweatshirt you're wearin'
The artist remembered specific details about the person's belongings.

Do you?
The artist asked if the person remembered.

I won it at the county fair back in '92
The singer provided additional information about the sweatshirt with nostalgia.

Yeah, I'm still playin' softball with the same old bunch
The singer shared some information about their current activities and the continuity of their life.

In a lot of way things haven't changed very much
The artist reflected on the similarities between their past and present.

Oh and by the way, I never stopped lovin' you
The artist repeated their confession of love to emphasize the importance of the message.
