TODAY I BURNED YOU 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 LETTER TIED IN BLUE
TODY 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 LOE IS THERE AMONG THE EMBERS
OF ASHES OF YOUR LETTERS TIED IN BLUE
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 LETTER TIED IN BLUE
TODY 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 LOE IS THERE AMONG THE EMBERS
OF ASHES OF YOUR LETTERS TIED IN BLUE
