Your Old Love Letters
recorded by Jim Reeves
written by Johnny Bond
C
Today I burned your old love letters
G7 C
I burned them gently one by one
Before I'd light the flame I'd read it
G7 C
To try and find the wrong I've done
F C
The first you wrote me was the sweetest
G7
The last one broke my heart in two
C
Our love is there among the embers
G7 C
Of the ashes of your letters tied in blue
Today I burned your old love letters
G7 C
I watched our love go up in smoke
I lived again those precious memories
G7 C
I heard each tender word you spoke
F C
The first you wrote me was the sweetest
G7
The last one said that we were through
C
Our love is there among the embers
G7 C
Of the ashes of your letters tied in blue
