Lyrics
FLAME OF LOVE
When you catch a spark
From heaven above
Beware if you get
What you're dreamin' of
Make sure that you don't burn up
In the flame of love
Make sure that you don't burn up
In the flame of love
When a falling star
Lands in your heart
Take a deeper breath
Or you'll fall apart
The hottest flame
Is the one you don't see
It?s the flame of love
It?s the flame of love
How do you measure
A misunderstanding?
What do you use as the scale?
How can you shelter an honest heart breaking?
Is there somewhere to find a spare?
When can you tell
There's a true love connection?
How do you know
If it's not there?
Burn the flame of love
Light the flame of love
Burn the flame of love
Light the flame of love
How do you measure
A misunderstanding?
What do you use as the scale?
How can you shelter an honest heart breaking?
Is there somewhere to find a spare?
