英文乡村歌曲：He stopped loving her today—George Jones

He said "I'll love you till I die",

she told him "You'll forget in time"

As the years went slowly by,

she still preyed¹ upon² 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


Kept some letters by his bed

dated nineteen sixty-two

He had underlined³ in red

every single "I love you"


I went to see him just today,

oh but I didn't see no tears⁴

All dressed up to go away, first time

I'd seen him smile in years


He stopped loving her today

They placed a wreath⁵ upon his door

And soon they'll carry him away

He stopped loving her today


(Spoken)

You know,

she came to see him one last time.

Aww, 'n' 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

And soon they'll carry him away

He stopped loving her today
