Burnin' Old Memories Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

(Larry Boone/Gene Nelson/Paul Nelson) 

I used to love him that ain't no lie 

We had a good thing till he said goodbye 

Then with one touch you set my heart ablaze 

I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame 

A perfect match that's what we are 

I'm gettin' over him underneath the stars 

The smoke has cleared from the hold he had on me 

I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame 

One by one those old embers burn 

You came along when I had no where to turn 

Just when I thought I'd never love again 

I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame 

When I'm with you I'm without a doubt 

We got a fire I don't ever want to put out 

And here with you is where I'm gonna stay 

Just burnin' old memories with a brand new flame 

One by one those old embers burn 

You came along when I had no where to turn 

Just when I thought I'd never love again 

I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame
