Merle Haggard's 'Today I Started Loving You Again' is a classic country song about the cycle of heartbreak and rekindled love. The lyrics describe a person who thought they had moved on from a past relationship, only to find themselves falling back in love. The song captures the pain of realizing that the emotional healing was temporary and that the love remains. It is not a Christian song; it is a secular love song about romantic longing and emotional vulnerability.

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...
