Today I Burned Your Old Love Letters

C
Today I burned your old love letters
  G7                        C
I burned them gently one by one

Before I'd light the flame I'd read it
   G7                          C
To try and find the wrong I've done

    F                          C
The first you wrote me was the sweetest
                               G7
The last one broke my heart in two
    C
Our love is there among the embers
       G7                            C
Of the ashes of your letters tied in blue


Today I burned your old love letters
  G7                        C
I watched our love go up in smoke

I lived again those precious memories
  G7                         C
I heard each tender word you spoke

    F                          C
The first you wrote me was the sweetest
                               G7
The last one said that we were through
    C
Our love is there among the embers
       G7                            C
Of the ashes of your letters tied in blue
