He said, "I'll love you 'til I die"
She told him, "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mindHe kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back againKept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single I love youI went to see him just today
Oh, but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in yearsHe stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her todayYou know, she came to see him one last time
Ohh, and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time, he's over her for goodHe stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
