Today, I burned your old love letters;
|
I burned them gently, one by one.
|
And as I light the flame, I'd read it,
|
So I could see what you had done.
|
The first you wrote me was the sweetest:
|
The last one broke my heart in two.
|
Our love now lies among the embers,
|
In the ashes of your letters tied in blue.
|
|
Instrumental break.
|
|
And as I burned your old love letters,
|
It brought back mem'ries from the past.
|
It told about you and your new love,
|
A love I knew could never last.
|
|
The first you wrote me was the sweetest:
|
The last one broke my heart in two.
|
And as I light the flame, I'd read it,
|
For I can say: "I still love you."
|
|
Instrumental Fade Out.
