Pat Boone - Pictures In The Fire lyrics

Ashes, nothing but ashes That were pictures a moment ago I threw your pictures into the fire And now I sit and watch the glow And though your love for me is gone The memory lingers on Darling, I still love you so I threw your pictures into the fire Oh my darling, what they meant to me But just some smiling photographs To taunt my heart That's all they turned out to be If you only knew The bad times I've been through You hurt me 'til my heart just broke You played at love for fun And now the game is done I watched my memories Going up in smoke I threw your pictures into the fire Just like our dreams They all fell apart But darling, how can I burn The picture of you The picture that remains in my heart Ashes, nothing but ashes That were pictures a moment ago
