Have you ever stumbled upon an old letter or a forgotten note, one that takes you back in time to a moment that feels so close yet so far away? That’s the kind of magic Your Old Love Letters delivers. This song is a tender trip down memory lane, where words from the past still echo with the power to stir the heart. It’s not just a song—it’s a reflection on love, longing, and the bittersweet beauty of remembering.
The lyrics feel like they were written for anyone who has ever held onto tokens of love—whether it’s a box of letters, a faded photograph, or a simple keepsake. There’s something so achingly beautiful about revisiting those memories, not just for the joy they bring, but for the way they remind us of the people we were and the connections that shaped us.
The melody is gentle and haunting, wrapping around the words like a warm embrace, perfectly complementing the sentiment. Every note seems to linger, much like the feelings that old letters can evoke. It’s one of those songs that speaks directly to the soul, especially if you’ve ever found yourself rereading a letter, smiling through tears, and feeling the love that still lives in those words.
This song reminds us that love, even when it’s in the past, never really fades—it just finds new ways to stay with us. And isn’t that what makes those old love letters so priceless? They’re more than just ink on paper; they’re pieces of our hearts preserved through time

Lyrics
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”
