Lyrics He Stopped Loving Her Today - Leon Russell

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

They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they′ll carry him away

They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they′ll carry him away
