Don Henley in duet with Martina McBride Lyrics
"That Old Flame"

Got a message in my mailbox from an old friend I hardly see
All it said was you were trying to get in touch with me
And I stared down at your number, and I felt passion and I felt fear
And I wondered what the hell you wanted after all these years

Cause there is danger in the embers
And you have only yourself to blame
If you get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame

Well I know we ended badly and I was angry for a long long time
But I've grown some and I wanted you to know that I'm doing just fine
And I'm not asking for a replay, I got no delusions, got no designs
Can I borrow just a little cup of kindness for Auld Lang Syne?

Cause there is danger in the embers
And you have only yourself to blame
If you get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame

Speak to me plain, tell me the truth
Is it really me you miss or just your long lost youth?

Yeah there is danger in the embers
And you know nothing, nothing stays the same
Yeah you can get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame
Yeah you can get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame
