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.
Found love letters by his bed
Dated 19 and 62
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
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
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today.
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today…
