Ricky Skaggs - Your Old Love Letters lyrics

rate me

Today, I burned your old love letters;

I burned them gently, one by one.

And as I light the flame, I'd read it,

So I could see what you had done.

The first you wrote me was the sweetest:

The last one broke my heart in two.

Our love now lies among the embers,

In the ashes of your letters tied in blue.

Instrumental break.

And as I burned your old love letters,

It brought back mem'ries from the past.

It told about you and your new love,

A love I knew could never last.

The first you wrote me was the sweetest:

The last one broke my heart in two.

And as I light the flame, I'd read it,

For I can say: "I still love you."

Instrumental Fade Out.
