He Stopped Loving Her Today

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 nineteen

sixty-two

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

Aww 'n' we all

wondered if she would

And it kept my

mind-this runnin'

through time he'

sover 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
