Your Old Love Letters (1961)
Today I burned your old love letters
I burned them slowly one by one
Before I’d light the flame I’d read them
To try and find the wrongs I done
The first you wrote me was the sweetest
The last one broke my heart in two
And all alone I’m left here weeping
For the ashes of letters tied in blue
As I burned your old love letters
I watched my dreams go up in smoke
I lived again those precious memories
I heard each tender word you spoke
The first you wrote me was the sweetest
The last one said that we were threw
Our love is there between the embers
In the ashes of letters tied in blue
