He Stopped Loving Her Today - Beres Hammond

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 prayed upon his mind

He kept her picture on the wall

Went half crazy now and then

But he still loved her through it all

Hoping she’d come back again

Kept some letters by his bed

Dated 1962

He had underlined in red

Every single 'I love you'

I went to see him just today

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

You know, she came to see him last time

And we were all wonderin' if she would

And it kept runnin' through my mind

This time he’s over her for good

He stopped loving her today

They placed a wreath upon his door

And soon they’ll carry him away

He stopped loving her today
