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 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.
Found love letters by his bed
Dated 19 and 62
He had underlined in red
Every single, I love you.
I went to see my friend 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.
(Spoken)
Ya' know she came to see him one last time
Oh, we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good.
(Sang)
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today...
(Lyrics note: There are several lyrical versions of this song.
The only difference I can find is in the 3rd verse, the 1st line.
The alternate version reads Kept some letters by his bed.
Another difference is in the 4th verse ''I went to see my
friend today may be found saying ''I went to see him today'')
Él dejó de amarla hoy
Dijo que te amaré hasta que muera
Ella le dijo que lo olvidarías a tiempo
A medida que los años pasaban lentamente
Todavía se aprovechó de su mente
Mantuvo su foto en su pared
Se volvió medio loco de vez en cuando
Todavía la amaba a través de todo
Esperando que volviera otra vez
Encontrado cartas de amor junto a su cama
De fechas 19 y 62
Había subrayado en rojo
Cada uno, te quiero
Hoy fui a ver a mi amigo
Oh, pero no vi ninguna lágrima
Todo vestido para irse
La primera vez que lo vi sonreír en años
Dejó de quererla hoy
Colocaron una corona sobre su puerta
Y pronto lo llevarán lejos
Dejó de quererla hoy
(Hablado)
Ya sabes, ella vino a verlo por última vez
Oh, todos nos preguntábamos si lo haría
Y seguía corriendo por mi mente
Esta vez la ha superado para siempre
(Cantó)
Dejó de quererla hoy
Colocaron una corona sobre su puerta
Y pronto lo llevarán lejos
Dejó de quererla hoy
(Nota de la letra: Hay varias versiones líricas de esta canción
La única diferencia que puedo encontrar es en el tercer verso, la primera línea
La versión alternativa dice: “Guardó algunas cartas junto a su cama
Otra diferencia está en el versículo 4” Fui a ver mi
amigo hoy se puede encontrar diciendo” Fui a verlo hoy”)
