Old Love Letters

Today I burned your old love letters
I burned them gently one by one
And as I'd light the flame I'd read it
For I could see what you had done

The first you wrote me was the sweetest
        The last one broke my heart in two
        And as I light the flame I read it
        For I can say I still love you

And as I burned your old love letters
It brought back memories from the past
It told about you sad your new love
A love I know could never last

* Refrain
