BURNIN' OLD MEMORIES
(Larry Boone / Paul Nelson / Gene Nelson)


Kathy Mattea - 1989





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 mem'ries 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 mem'ries with a brand new flame

One by one those old embers burn
You came along when I had nowhere to turn
Just when I thought I'd never love again
I'm burnin' old mem'ries with a brand new flame

(Instrumental Break)

When I'm with you, I'm without a doubt
We got a fire I don't ever want put out
And here with you is where I wanna stay
Just burnin' old mem'ries with a brand new flame

One by one those old embers burn
You came along when I had nowhere to turn
Just when I thought I'd never love again
I'm burnin' old mem'ries with a brand new flame
Yes, I'm burnin' old mem'ries with a brand new flame
