He Stopped Loving Her Today
Eternal Love's Farewell: A Heart-Wrenching Journey
Lyrics
He said "I'll love you till I die",
Expressing a commitment to love until death.
She told him "You'll forget in time"
She dismisses his commitment, suggesting he'll forget over time.
As the years went slowly by,
Passage of time is marked as the years slowly go by.
She still preyed upon his mind
Despite time passing, she remains in his thoughts, haunting him.
He kept her picture on his wall,
He keeps a picture of her on his wall, indicating his enduring attachment.
Went half-crazy now and then
He experiences moments of mental instability, likely due to his emotions.
He still loved her through it all,
Despite challenges, he continues to love her unwaveringly.
Hoping she'd come back again
He hopes for her return, showing optimism and longing.
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
