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 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
