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 mind
He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it
all
Hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
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 loving 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
Oh and we all wondered if she
would
And it kept running through my
mind
This time he's over her for good
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his
door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today.
