[Verse]
              
He said I'll l

              
ove you 'til I

  
 die
              
She told him y

              
ou'll forget i

   
n time
              
As the years w

           
ent slowly by
              
She still prey

            
ed upon his mi

nd

              
He kept her pi

              
cture on his w


all
              
Went half craz

           
y now and then
              
He still loved

              
 her through i

   
t all
              
Hoping she'd c

           
ome back again


[Chorus]

   Kept some l

etters by his 

bed
              
Dated nineteen

        
-sixty-two
              
He had underli

        
ned in red
              
Every single I

      
 love you


[Verse]
              
I went to see 

            
him just today
              
Oh, but I didn

           
't see no tear

s
              
All dressed up

        
 to go away
              
First time I'd

              
 seen him smil

      
e in years


[Chorus]
              
He stopped lov

          
ing her today
              
They placed a 

              
wreath upon hi


s door
              
And soon they'

             
ll carry him a

#
way
              
He stopped lov

        
ing her today


[Verse]

   You know, s

he came to see

 him one last 

time

   Aw, and we 

all wondered i

f she would

   And it kept

 running throu

gh my mind

This time he's

 over her for 

good


[Chorus]
              
He stopped lov

        
ing her today
              
They placed a 

              
wreath upon hi

  
s door
              
And soon they'

             
ll carry him a

#
way
              
He stopped lov

           
ing her today
