Today I burned your old love letters I burned them slowly one by one
And before I'd light the flame I'd 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 all alone it's left me weeping for the ashes of
your letters tied in blue

Today 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
