Faron Young - Your Old Love Letters lyrics

rate me

Today I burned your old love letters yes 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 done

The first you wrote me was the sweetest the last one broke my heart in two

And now alone I left you weeping for the ashes of your letters tied in blue

As I burned your old love letters I watched my dreams go up in smoke

I lived again those precious moments I heard each tender word you spoke

The first you wrote me was the sweetest the last one said that we were through

And our love is there among the ambers in the ashes of your letters tied in blue
