No chord                      G
He said I'll love you 'til I die
                               C
She told him you'll forget in time
                          D
As the years went slowly by
                            G
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

G#
Kept some letters by his bed
                      C#
Dated nineteen-sixty-two
                      Eb
He had underlined in red
                     G#
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
It placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

You know, she came to see him one last time
Aw 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
It placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
