I'm Burning Old Memories

Just a few old memories slipped in through my door
Though I thought I had closed it so tightly before
I can't understand it why it should bother my mind
For it all belongs to another place and time

Just a few old keep-sakes way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin' well I'm surprised they're still left
Just a few old love letters with the edges all brown
And some old faded pictures i keep turned upside-down

Just a few old memories going way back in time
Well I can hardly remember, i don't know why I'm crying
I can't understand it well I'm surprised myself
First thing tomorrow morning i'll clean off that shelf

I used to love him that ain't no lie
We had a good thing till he said goodbye
With just one touch he used to set my heart ablaze
I'm burning old memories with a brand new flame

A perfect match that's what we were
I'm getting over him underneath the stars
The smoke has cleared from the hold he had on me
I'm burning old memories with a brand new flame

One by one those old embers burn
You went when I had no where to turn
Just when I thought I'd never love again
I'm burning old memories with a brand new flame

When I was with you I was without a doubt
We had a fire I didn't ever want to put out
But here without you is where I'm gonna stay
Just burning old memories with a brand new flame
