[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Kept some letters by his bed
Dated "1962"
He had underlined in red
Yes!
Every single, "I love you"
I went to see him just today
Oh but I didn't see no tears, oh...no
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

[Verse 3]
Hahaha, yeah
You know she came to see him one last time
Oh, we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind, yes it did
This time he's over her for good

[Chorus: (4x)]
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

[Outro]
Dead man walking...
