Your Old Love Letters Lyrics - Ricky Skaggs

Today, I burned your old love letters 

I burned them gently, one by one 

And as I light the flame, I'd read it 

So I could see what you had done 

The first you wrote me was the sweetest 

The last one broke my heart in two 

Our love now lies among the embers 

In the ashes of your letters tied in blue 

And as I burned your old love letters 

It brought back mem'ries 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 light the flame, I'd read it 

For I can say: "I still love you"
