Today I burned your old love letters.
|
Burned them gently one by one
|
Before I'd light the flame I'd read it
|
To try and find the wrong I've done
|
|
The first you wrote me was the sweetest
|
The last one broke my heart in two
|
Our love is there among the embers
|
Of the ashes of your letters tied in blue
|
|
Today I burned your old love letters
|
I watched our love go up in smoke
|
I lived again those precious mem'ries
|
I heard each tender word you spoke
|
|
The first you wrote me was the sweetest
|
The last one said that we were through
|
Our love is there among the embers
|
Of the ashes of your letters tied in blue.
