He Stopped Loving Her Today

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 his 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

Ya know she came to see him one last time

Oh and we alll 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
