He Stopped Loving Her Today
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.
Dejó de amarla hoy
Él dijo, 'Te amaré hasta que muera'.
Ella le dijo, 'Olvidarás con el tiempo'.
A medida que pasaban los años lentamente,
Ella seguía en su mente rezando.
Tenía su foto en la pared,
Se volvía medio loco de vez en cuando.
Pero aún la amaba a pesar de todo,
Esperando que ella regresara de nuevo.
Guardaba algunas cartas junto a su cama,
Con fecha de 1962.
Había subrayado en rojo
Cada 'te amo'.
Fui a verlo hoy mismo,
Pero no vi lágrimas.
Vestido para irse,
Por primera vez lo vi sonreír en años.
Dejó de amarla hoy,
Colocaron una corona en su puerta,
Y pronto lo llevarán lejos,
Dejó de amarla hoy.
Sabes, ella vino a verlo por última vez.
Y todos nos preguntábamos si lo haría.
Y seguía rondando en mi mente,
Esta vez él la superó para siempre.
Dejó de amarla hoy,
Colocaron una corona en su puerta,
Y pronto lo llevarán lejos,
Dejó de amarla hoy.
