He Stopped Loving Her Today

  S1:
  He said, "I'll love you till I die" 

  She told him, "You'll forget in time" 

  As the years went slowly by 

  She still preyed upon his mind

  S2:
  He kept her picture on his wall 

  Went half crazy now and then 

  But he still loved her through it all 

  Hoping she'd come back again

  S3:
  Kept some letters by his bed 

  Dated 1962 

  He had underlined in red 

  Every single, I love you

  S4:
  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

  R1:
  He stopped loving her today 

  They placed a wreath upon his door 

  And soon they'll carry him away 

  He stopped loving her today

  Rc1:
  You know, she came to see him one last time 

  Ah, and we all wondered if she would 

  And it kept runnin' through my mind 

  "This time he's over her for good"

  R1:
  He stopped loving her today 

  They placed a wreath upon his door 

  And soon they'll carry him away 

  He stopped loving her today
