Song lyrics
(Bobby Braddock - Curly Putman) 

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 nineteen and sixty-two
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'')

I had a friend and his wife left him. He loved her so much and just couldn't give her up. He started using drugs, drinking, lost his job, and finally lost everything he had. He went to live with his brother and just a few months later he killed himself. That was when he stopped loving her. That song reminds me of him everytime I hear it. It was so true in this case.
