George Strait Lyrics
"A Fire I Can't Put Out"

(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...
