He said I'll love you til I die
DO
She told him you'll forget in time
RE
As the years went slowly by
SOL
She still preyed upon his mind
SOL
He kept her picture on his wall
DO
Went half crazy now and then
RE
He still loved her through it all
SOL
Hoping she'd come back again
SOL
Kept some letters by his bed
DO
and in 1962
RE
He had underlined in red
SOL
Every single I love you
SOL
I went to see him just today
DO
Oh but I didn't see no tears
RE
All dressed up to go away
SOL
First time I'd seen him smile in years
Chorus
SOL
He stopped loving her today
SOL7 RE
They placed a wreath upon his door
RE7
And soon they'll carry him away
SOL
He stopped loving her today
SOL
You know she came to see him one last time
DO
Oh and we all wondered if she would
RE
And it kept running through my mind
SOL
This time he's over her for good
Chorus
