    • Lyrics

    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
    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
