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 prayed upon his mind      He kept her picture on the 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 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 runnin' through my mind   This time he's over her for good      He stopped loving her today   They placed a wreath upon his door   Soon they'll carry him away   He stopped loving her today
