He said I'll love you till I die
She told him
You'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hopin' she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Dated nineteen sixty two
He had underlined in red
Every single I love you
I 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 years
He stopped lovin' her today
They placed a
wreath upon his door
And soon they'll
carry him away
He stopped loving her today
You know she came
to see him one last time
We all wondered if she would
And it kept runnin'
through my mind
This time he's
over her for good
He stopped lovin' her today
They placed a
wreath upon his door
And soon they'll
carry him away
He stopped loving her today
