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.
