I'll Always Keep on Loving You
George Jones · King and Two Queens (wMelba Montgomery & Judy Lynn [1964]
Melba Montgomey
I say tomorrow I'll forget you
That I won't always be this blue
I'll soon forget I ever met you
But I always keep on loving you.
I tried to hate you even run you down
I guess I told a million lies on you
I even said I'm glad your not around
But I always keep on loving you.
--- Instrumental ---
I tell my heart it's time to be with you
I pray I'll find another too
'Cause I don't ever seem to make it
Cause I'll always keep on loving you.
I tried to hate you even run you down
I guess I told a million lies on you
I even said I'm glad your not around
But I always keep on loving you.
I say tomorrow I'll forget you
That I won't always be this blue
I'll soon forget I ever met you
But I always keep on loving you.
I tried to hate you even run you down
I guess I told a million lies on you
I even said I'm glad your not around
But I always keep on loving you.

I tell my heart it's time to be with you

'Cause I don't ever seem to make it
Cause I'll always keep on loving you.
I tried to hate you even run you down
I guess I told a million lies on you
I even said I'm glad your not around
But I always keep on loving you.
