today is the anniversary that i cherish~~~~~~~~

this is the song that says it all...........

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 preyed upon his mind.

He kept her picture on the wall.
Went half crazy now and then.
But 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,
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 last time.
And we were all wonderin' 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.

this song makes me think that someone was inside my head and heart and put my feelings to music.

Ooh, yeah, gotta admit it, as a singer, I'd love to have written a piece as gut grabbing as that one. Somehow I feel sucker punched by it every time. Didn't Gerge Jones record that?

Wow... just plain wow.

Ry

Yeah, amazing

POWERFUL.

sometimes i picture us........two best friends, sitting on a porch in the country, listening to the crickets, holding hands and smiling.....i imagine he is looking down on me right now...smiling.......thanks, everyone.....you helped me get through for another year.....pat
