He Stopped Loving Her Today

He said I'll love you til I die

She told him you'll forget in time

I watched the years pass slowly by

She still preyed upon his mind

He kept her pictures on his wall

Went half crazy now and then

But he still loved her through it all

Hoping she'd come back again

They found love letters by his bed

Dated 1962

He had underlined in red

Every single I love you

I went to see my friend today

Oh but I didn't see no tears

He was 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

Soon they'll carry him away

He stopped loving her today

You know she came to see him one last time

Oh, we all wondered if she would

And it kept running through my mind

Well, 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
