A Fire I Can't Put Out

George Strait · Very Best Of Strait, Vol. 1:1981-87 [Universal In] [2004]

(Richard D. Staedtler)



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.



Chorus:

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.



Chorus:

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...
