He Stopped Loving Her Today lyrics

(George Jones)
He said `I`ll love you till 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 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
And soon they`ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

(Spoken)
You know,
she came to see him one last time.
Aww, `n` 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
And soon they`ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
