He Stopped Loving Her Today

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]
