Johnny Cash - He Stopped Loving Her Today lyrics

[Johnny Cash - He Stopped Loving Her Today lyrics]

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
