美国乡村音乐: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 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
 
 
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
 
All dressed up to go away, first time
 
I'd seen him smile in years
 
 
He stopped loving her today
 
They placed a wreath² 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
