He Stopped Loving Her Today

He said I love you
Till I die
She told him
You'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still played 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 see 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 went to see him one last time
Ah we all sorta wondered if she would
And it kept going through my mind
That this time, well
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
