Porter Wagoner - Your Old Love Letters

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

The first you wrote me was the sweetest
The last one broke my heart in two (ah)
And all alone I'm left here weeping (ah)
O'er the ashes of your letters tied in blue

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

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