He said I love you till I die
She told him you'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still prayed for his smile
He kept her picture on his wall
Well half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Late in nineteen sixty two
He had underlined in red
Every single line he read
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 smiling here
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath on his door
And soon they carried him away
He stopped loving her today
You know she came to see him one last time
We all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time is over her for good
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath on his door
And soon they carried him away
He stopped loving her today
