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 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"
