Imagine finding a collection of someone's love letters from years ago, an element of their history you've never heard of. That's the basis of Old Love Letters. In lyric form, it was called Collected Memories, which was entirely accurate. The repeated phrase in the chorus suggested the title you see above and Liz graciously approved the change.

When Liz heard the original recording, she offered to send some harmonies to add to the track. Thus inspired, I added some, too.

Liz Says .... Thank you Paul for putting together this great song. It was a delightful collaboration. I really enjoy how you make the music reflect the sentiment of the lyrics.

Deep at the back of a hallway closet Where collected memories tarry Lingers a tattered, world-weary box Waiting to meet the light of day

Under the lid, dusty cards and ribbons Quiet remnants of your life Keepsakes that give proof of existence Revealed to unfamiliar eyes

A stack of old love letters Fastened with frayed twine From long ago when you were together When two hearts were combined A stack of old love letters

Ink on paper held your love together Faded by time, but not erased Alone at the end, you weren't together There are truths the letters didn't say

Now in my hands, your past feels nearer In notes from the one your heart adored Loving echoes of a hidden chapter Are quietly tucked away once more

A stack of old love letters Fastened with frayed twine From long ago when you were together When two hearts were combined A stack of old love letters

A story you kept in silence Reveals itself at last The love you never mentioned Emerges from the past

A stack of old love letters Fastened with frayed twine From long ago when you were together When two hearts were combined A stack of old love letters
