Today I burned your old love letters

I burned 'em gently one by one

And as I'd light the flame I'd read it

For I could see what you had done



The first you wrote me was the sweetest

The last one broke my heart in two

And as I'd light the flame I'd read it

For I can say I still love you



And as I burned your old love letters

It brought back memories 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'd light the flame I'd read it

For I can say I still love you
