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 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 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 running through my mind This time he’s over her for good Chorus

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque l'amour éternel d'un homme pour une femme, malgré le passage du temps et la douleur de sa perte. Bien qu'elle l'ait quitté et qu'il ait été convaincu qu'il finirait par l'oublier, son cœur est resté accroché à des souvenirs précieux, des lettres d’amour et des photos. Dans un retournement poignant, on découvre qu'il a arrêté d’aimer cette femme le jour de sa mort, marquant ainsi la fin de son chagrin. Même si elle est venue le voir une dernière fois, on se demande si cet amour a vraiment disparu pour de bon. C'est une réflexion sur la manière dont l'amour peut persister, même au-delà de la vie.
