 He said I'll love you til 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

 He still loved her through it all

 Hoping she'd come back again

 Kept some letters by his bed

 and in 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

Chorus

  He stopped loving her today

  They placed a wreath upon his door

  And soon they'll carry him away

  He stopped loving her today

 You know she came to see him one last time

 Oh and we all wondered if she would

 And it kept running through my mind

 This time he's over her for good

(CHORUS)
