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
But he still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again
He kept some letters by his bed
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 lov ing her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon that carried him away
He stopped loving her today
She came to see him one last time
And we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind,
this time he's over her for good
He stopped lov ing her today,
they placed the wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
