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
