|
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 |
|
Dated 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 [Spoken:] |
|
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 [Repeat Chorus] |
