He said, I love you till I die
She told him, you'll forget in time
And as the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall
Went half -crazy now an d then
He still loved her through it all
Hopin' she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed,
And he had underlined in red,
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
He stopped lov ing her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon the carriage came away
He stopped loving her today
Oh, we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
