FLICKER OF THE FLAME
(Linda Hargrove / Peter Drake)


Linda Hargrove - 1977



It's been a long time since I've seen you
But you know I feel the same
I can't forget what was between us
For I still feel the flicker of the flame

It's been a long time since I've held you
And heard you softly call my name
But in my mind you're still with me
For I still feel the flicker of the flame

At night when I'm alone I make believe you're here
I fantasize your face, oh, and I see you so clear
No wind of doubt could make the fire go out
I guess this burning feeling's here to stay

It's been a long time since I've touched you
And touching mem'ries ain't quite the same
But a mem'ry will have to do me
For I still feel the flicker of the flame

At night when I'm alone I make believe you're here
I fantasize your face, oh, and I see you so clear
No wind of doubt could make the fire go out
I guess this burning feeling's here to stay

It's been a long time since I've touched you
Touching mem'ries ain't quite the same
But a mem'ry will have to do me
For I still feel the flicker of the flame

Yes, a mem'ry will have to do me
For I still feel the flicker of the flame
