He Stopped Loving Her Today George Jones 1980 | (Elk 36) Wayne McDonald |
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
Kept some letters by his bed, dated in 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
Soon they'll carry him away, he stopped loving her today
You know she came to see him one last time
Ah, we all wondered 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
Soon they'll carry him away, he stopped loving her today
