He Stopped Loving Her Today
by Leon Russell
on Legend in My Time: Hank Wilson Vol. III (1998), Best of Hank Wilson (2009)
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
