He said, “I'll love you 'til I die”
She said, “You'll forget in time”
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
He hung her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again
He kept her letters by his bed
Dated ninety-sixty-two
He had underlined in red
Every single ‘I love you’
I just saw him today
No there wasn’t any tears
All dressed up to go away
I hadn’t seen him smile in years
He stopped lovin’ her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped lovin’ her today
