I came up on a bundle of letter one day I had in my mind to throw them away But I broke the faded ribbon Before I thought again I opened up the first one When I noticed your name There were many, many pages All about old time The Blues from your lonely tears Were covered up by mind I heard your voice again love I saw your sweet lips more When I read the words I love you I said I love you too Why did I keep those old love letters? I had almost forgotten you Why did I keep those old love letters? Those old love letters from you I'll burn the old love letters No-one that you for love I'll take the spade And bury deep the ashes of love I'm tryin' to forget you Though I know there's no use Cause when you love somebody That feelings hard to love Why did I keep those old love letters? I had almost now I always remember you Why did I read those old love letters? Those old love letters from you.
