He said "I'll love you till 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 nineteen sixty-two
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
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

Lyrics to “He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones
