He said I'll love you 'til I die |
|
She told him, "You'll forget in time" |
|
And 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 |
|
But he still loved her through it all |
|
He kept hoping she'd come back again |
|
Found love letters by his bed |
|
Dated 1962 |
|
He had underlined in red |
|
Every single I love you |
|
I went to see my friend today |
|
Oh, and I didn't see no tears |
|
He was all dressed up to go away |
|
First time I'd seen him smile on years |
|
He stopped loving her today |
|
They placed a wreath upon his door |
|
And soon they'll carry him away |
|
But he stopped loving her today |
|
You know, she came back today for very last time |
|
Ohh, and we all wondered if she would |
|
And it kept running through my mind |
|
Well this time, he's over her for good |
|
And he stopped loving her today |
|
They placed a wreath upon his door |
|
Soon they'll carry him away |
|
He stopped loving her today |
