A Fire I Can't Put Out

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 now my heart would know and it could set you free The things I've tried the tears I've cried 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
