He said, I'll love you till I die
She told him, you'll forget in time
And as the years went slowly by
She still prayed upon his mind
Kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hopin' she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
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 smiling, yeah
He stopped lovin' her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped lovin' her today
she came to see him one last time,
and we all wondered if she would,
He stopped lov in' her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
