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 he stopped loving her today they placed a wreath upon his door and soon they ll carry him away he stopped loving her today
