Your Old Love Letters

(Johnny Bond)



Today I burned your old love letters

I burned them slowly one by one

Before I'd light the flame I 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

And now all alone I left you weeping

For the ashes of your letters tied in blue.



--- Instrumental ---



As I burned your old love letters

I watched my dreams 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

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