Old Love Letters (David Blackmore) video

Today I burned your old love letters,
I burned them slowly one by one;
Before I'd light the flame I'd read them,
To try and find the wrongs I done.

The first you wrote me was the sweetest,
The last one broke my heart in two;
And all alone I left you weeping,
For the ashes of your letters tied in blue.

As I burned your old love letters,
I watched my dreams go up in smoke;
I lived again those precious mem'ries,
I heard each tender word you spoke.

The first you wrote me was the sweetest,
The last one said that we were through;
Our love is there among the embers,
In the ashes of your letters tied in blue.
