Johnny Cash He Stopped Loving Her Today Lyrics

He Stopped Loving Her Today Lyrics

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

He still loved her through it all

Hopin' 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

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



You know, she came to see him one last time

Oh, and we all wondered 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

Soon they'll carry him away

He stopped loving her today
