He said I'll love you 'til I dieShe told him you'll forget in timeAs the years went slowly byShe still prayed upon his mindHe kept her picture on his wallWent half crazy now and thenHe still loved her through it allHoping she'd come back againKept some letters by his bedDated 1962He had underlined in redEvery single "I love you"I went to see him just todayOh but I didn't see no tearsAll dressed up to go awayFirst time I'd seen him smile in yearsHe stopped loving her todayThey placed a wreath upon his doorAnd soon they'll carry him awayHe stopped loving her todayYa know she came to see him one last timeOh and we alll wondered if she wouldAnd it kept running through my mindThis time he's over her for goodHe stopped loving her todayThey placed a wreath upon his doorAnd soon they'll carry him awayHe stopped loving her today
