He said, I love you till I die
She told him, you're forgetting time
As the years went slowly by
She still played 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
I went to see him just today
Ah, but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years
He stopped lovin' her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped lovin' her today
she came to see him one last time
we all wondered if she would
And it, it kept running through my mind
That 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
