Your Old Love Letters Songtext
von Jeannie C. Riley

Today I burned your old love letters
I burned them slowly one by one
Before I′d light the flame I'd read them
To try and find the wrongs I′ve done The first you wrote me was the sweetest
The last one broke my heart in two
Now all alone I'm left here weeping
O'er the ashes of your letters tied in blue


As I burned your old love letters
I watched my dreams go up in smoke
I lived again those precious memories
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
In the ashes of your letters tied in blue
