Title: Open Fire
Album: Open Fire, Two Guitars
Composer: Music - Jerome "Jerry" Leiber * Lyrics - Mike Stoller

Staring at an open fire
Watching flames as they leap higher
Bring forgotten thoughts to mind
I can almost see the face of someone I left far behind
Glazing at the burning embers
Strange the things that one remembers
I recall an old romance
I can almost smell the perfume
That she wore at our first dance

I can almost feel her cheek on mine
I can almost hear what she's saying
As I dance with my old Valentine
I would swear I can hear
The music playing

Sitting on a cozy pillow
Poking ashes with a willow
Stirs a spark of old desire
Funny how the memories come rushing back
Before an open fire

I can almost feel her cheek on mine
I can almost hear what she's saying
As I dance with my old Valentine
I would swear I can hear
The music playing

Sitting on a cozy pillow
Poking ashes with a willow
Stirs a spark of old desire
Funny how the memories come rushing back
Before an open fire

I can see her now beside the open fire
