(verse 1)
E Today I burned your old love letters,
I B7 burned them gently one by E one,
E And as I light the flame I read it,
So B7 I could see what you had d E one, E7
(chorus)
The A first you wrote me was the s E weetest,
E The last one broke my heart in B7 two,
Our E love now lies among the embers,
In the B7 ashes of your letter, I am E blue,
(verse 2 )
E As I burned your old love letters,
It B7 brough back memories from the E past,
E It told about you and your new love,
A B7 love I knew could never E last, E7
(chorus)
The A first you wrote me was the s E weetest,
E The last one broke my heart in B7 two,
E As I light the flame I read it,
For B7 I can say I still love E you,
