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 pictures on his wall

Went half crazy now and then

But 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 back to see him one last time

Aw, 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

And soon they'll carry him away

He stopped loving her today
