Pictures In The Fire

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
