(terri clark) |
|
We pass in the hallway |
|
I stop to kiss you on the cheek |
|
But you're in a hurry |
|
You've got a deadline you must meet |
|
You're working so much these days |
|
You don't have time to spend with me |
|
But i keep hoping we might get back |
|
To the way love used to be |
|
I am the keeper of the flame |
|
You only helped me build the fire |
|
And it's getting harder every day |
|
To make our love burn with desire |
|
'cause if i left it up to you |
|
Only ashes would remain |
|
When it needs shelter from the rain |
|
I am the keeper of the flame |
|
We live here together |
|
But i feel we're worlds apart |
|
When i tell you i love you |
|
You never listen with your heart |
|
I may look like i'm doing fine |
|
But i'm dying deep inside |
|
'cause i've done all that i can do |
|
To try and keep this love alive |
|
I am the keeper of the flame |
|
You only helped me build the fire |
|
And it's getting harder every day |
|
To make our love burn with desire |
|
'cause if i left it up to you |
|
Only ashes would remain |
|
When it needs shelter from the rain |
|
I am the keeper of the flame |
|
Oh, when it needs shelter from the rain |
|
I am the keeper of the flame |
