INTRO
VERSE 1
Today I burned your old love letters
I burned them gently one by one
And as I'd light the flame I'd read them
For I could see what you have done
CHORUS
The first you wrote me was the sweetest
The last one broke my heart in two
And as I'd light the flame I'd read it
For I can say I still love you
VERSE 2
And as I burned your old love letters
It brought back memories from the past
It told about you and your new love
A love I knew could never last
(CHORUS)
