I try to look forward
But find myself sometimes lookin' back
Not wanting to believe we are over
That our fire had fade to ash
I said to some friends, some people that we knew
That I had found my soul's twin flame
And I let you slip right through
No one could ever hold a candle to your wit your style and charms
Nothing did I wanna see more than you in my arms
Together we made thunder out of smolderin' desire
Only with you, could I be free and now I am burned by your fire

Chorus:
I carry this torch in memory of a love that felt just right
I carry this torch of you and me and how we burned all thru the night
Here is my torch and it's killin' me because I let you slip away
Here is my torch and it's torturing me every single way, you know every single way

As I try to move on I find it just a useless game
I can feel you, taste you, hear you and you are callin' out my name
So tell me where you are so I can come and make it right
I know that you feel the same tell me tell me how you sleep at night
I miss you, crave you, need you, won't believe this fire has died
I will tend your garden if you just plant it by my side
I find it hard to believe that you aren't out there missin' me
Come into my open arms and let your love wash all over me

(chorus repeat)

I don't know how you can stay away so long
You know how rare good lovin' is being apart well it feels so wrong
Don't be afraid of how you feel won't you come on home to me
I know that you feel the same way I saw your number on the caller ID

(chorus repeat)
