I think that he's [B] great.
One of the first songs I ever sang on stage when I was a little girl was his first hit record.
[E] One of his big records goes, If You Want to Be My Baby, because that ain't what [Em] I'm singing tonight.
But I've loved him for all these years.
And of course, Curly Putman, who wrote Dumb Blonde, my first record, co-wrote this [Ab] next song that I'm going to do.
So I'm going to ask [C] Vince and Keith to help me [Em] sing a little bit later on in this song.
[A] I hope you'll enjoy it.
It's a quiet [Db] song.
You have to hush now and listen because you know half the music has these sad [Bm] songs.
[N] Don't let mama get up.
This one falls under [Ab] that category, but it's precious.
And I hope you'll enjoy it.
He stopped loving her [E] to the point.
He said, I'll love you till I die.
She told him, you're [A] forgetting time.
[E] And [A] as the years [B] went slowly by, she still prayed [E] above his mind.
He kept her picture on the wall.
Went half crazy, [A] now he's through.
But he still loved [B] her through it all.
Hoping she'd come [E] back again.
[C] Kept some letters [F] by her bed, dated
[Bb] 1962.
He had [C] underlined and red.
Every single [F] I love you.
I went to see him just today.
Oh, but I [Bb] see no tears.
[C] First time I'd seen him [F] smiling.
He stopped loving her.
He stopped loving her.
They played [G] the reeds [Bb] above the window.
[F] [Bb] She never carried [C] him away.
He stopped loving [F] her.
He stopped loving her.
She came to see him one last time.
Of course, we all wondered [Bb] if she would.
And the thought kept running [G] through my mind.
[C] This time he's over her [F] again.
He's all I need, I'm all you've ever known.
He's the [Bb] ballerina.
[C] He stopped loving her to the [B] end.
