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
