I'm finding out how hot an old flame can burn   You're a feeling I haven't forgot, the love I can't unlearn   You've become a memory I can't live without   You'll always be a fire I can't put out      I don't know how to handle the dream you left behind   It's like a lighted candle, burning up my mind   At least I'm happy knowing what love is all about   You'll always be a fire I can't put out      Embers to ashes, that's how it should be   You'd think by know my heart would know and it could set you free   The things I've tried, the tears I've cried and I guess there's no doubt   You'll always be a fire I can't put out      I don't know how to handle the dream you left behind   It's like a lighted candle, burning up my mind   At least I'm happy knowing what love is all about   You'll always be a fire I can't put out   You'll always be a fire I can't put out
