Your Old Love Letters [Live]
Jim Reeves · Gentleman Jim: Memories Are Made of This [BMG/RCA] [2004]
(Johnny Bond)
Today I burned your old love letters
Burned them gently one by one
Before I'd light the flame I'd read them
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
--- Instrumental ---
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...
Today I burned your old love letters
Burned them gently one by one
Before I'd light the flame I'd read them
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

Of the ashes of your letters tied in blue...
