He Stopped Loving Her Today
He said:
"I'll love you 'til I die."
She told him:
"You'll forget in Time."
And as Time went slowly by,
She still preyed upon his
Mind.
He kept her Picture on his
Wall.
Went half crazy now and
then.
But he loved her through it
all,
Hoping she'd come back
again.
He 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.
She came to see him one last
Time.
Oh, we all 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.
