[Eb] [B] [E]
Today I burned your old love letter, [B] I burned them gently one [E] by one,
And as I'd light the flame I pleaded, [B] For I could see what you [E] had done.
[A] The first you wrote me [E] was sweet, The last one broke my [B] heart in two,
[E] And as I'd light the flame I pleaded, [B] For I can say I [E] still love you.
[B] [E]

And as I burned your old love letter, [B] It brought back memories from [E] the past,
It told about you and your new love, [B] A love I knew could [E] never last.

[E] And as I'd light the flame I pleaded, [B] For I can say I still [E] love you.
