He said I'll love you 'til I die She told him, "You'll forget in time" And 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 But he still loved her through it all He kept hoping she'd come back again Found love letters by his bed Dated 1962 He had underlined in red Every single I love you I went to see my friend today Oh, and I didn't see no tears He was all dressed up to go away First time I'd seen him smile on years He stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away But he stopped loving her today You know, she came back today for very last time Ohh, and we all wondered if she would And it kept running through my mind Well this time, he's over her for good And he stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door Soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today
