Stanley Brothers Old Love Letters
Today I burned your old love letters
I burned 'em gently one by one
And as I'd light the flame I'd read it
For I could see what you had done
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
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
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
