Wildfire
Hall And Oates · Other Songs - Hall And Oates
Never ever found the one and all the fire it brings
I wanna try more now, than I dared before
I've got to know what passion is
Girl I've got to find the love
Day to day nothin' there, I had to let go
Heard a call that I resisted, 'cos it had no soul
When you get and never give it
It's so cold
You're something else, oh I know
I've got this wildfire that only grows
Every day it's in my soul
This wildfire, it's burnin' deep
It's burnin' deep, burnin' burnin'
Wildfire, it didn't take long
All my life is not too long
This wildfire is burnin' bright
Burnin' bright, burnin', burnin'
All, all around me
There's a fire that's catching on
Make a burnin' field of dreams
Little spark of light, touched and grew
Fed by all the love
That I'm feeling here with you
No one can believe it, but they can see
Since we've been together
You've made a change in me
Bein' alone is so wrong, it's so so cold
When somethin's right, ooh I know
I've got this wildfire that only grows
Every day it's in my soul
This wildfire, it's burnin' deep
It's burnin' deep, burnin' burnin'
Wildfire, it didn't take long
All my life is not too long
This wildfire is burning bright
Burnin' bright, burnin', burnin'
We gotta live to give, live and let love
Be here in the moment with the
One I want
'Cos bein' alone is so wrong
It's so cold
When somethin's right, ooh I know
Ooh I know
I've got this wildfire that only grows
Every day it's in my soul
This wildfire, it's burnin' deep
It's burnin' deep, burnin' burnin'
Wildfire, it didn't take long
All my life is not too long
This wildfire is burning bright
Burnin' bright, burnin', burnin'
It's in my thoughts, everyday
And I got this wildfire, burnin' on
Not too hard to carry on
Can't leave it, can't believe it
