Lyrics and Chords
[1] Today I burned your old love letters I [5] burned 'em gently one by [1] one And as I'd light the flame I'd read it For [5] I could see what you had [1] done
The [4] first you wrote me was the [1] sweetest The last one broke my heart in [5] two And [1] as I'd light the flame I'd read it For [5] I can say I still love [1] you
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
