ATF: Flickering Flames

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Old Flame

Alabama

I saw you starin'

At each other

I saw your eyes

Begin to glow

And I could tell

You once were lovers

But you ain't hidin' nothin'

That I don't know

There's an old flame burnin'

In your eyes

That tears can't drown

And make-up can't disguise

Now that old flame might not be stronger

But it's been burnin' longer

Than any spark I might have started

In your eyes

You said it ended

When he left you

You say your love

For me is strong

But those old memories

Still upset you

Well I might be a memory

Before too long

'Cause there's an old flame burnin'

In your eyes

That tears can't drown

And make-up can't disguise

Now that old flame might not be stronger

But it's been burnin' longer

Than any spark I might have started

In your eyes

There's an old flame burnin'

In your eyes

That tears can't drown

And make-up can't disguise

Now that old flame might not be stronger

But it's been burnin' longer

Than any spark I might have started

In your eyes

The Flame

Cheap Trick

Another night

Slowly closes in

And I feel so

Lonely

Touchin’ heat

Freezin’ on my skin

I pretend you

Still hold me

I'm goin’ crazy

I'm losin’ sleep

I'm in too far

I'm in way too deep

Over you

I can't believe

You're gone

You were the first

You'll be the last

Wherever you go

I'll be with you

Whatever you want

I'll give it to you

Whenever you need someone

To lay your heart and head upon

Remember

After the fire

After all the rain

I will be the flame

I will be the flame

Watchin’ shadows

Move across the wall

I feel so

Frightened

I wanna run to you

I wanna call

But I've been hit by

Lightning

Just can't stand up

From fallin' apart

Can't see through this veil

Across my heart

Over you

You'll always be

The one

You were the first

You'll be the last

Wherever you go

I'll be with you

Whatever you want

I'll give it to you

Whenever you need someone

To lay your heart and head upon.

Remember

After the fire

After all the rain

I will be the flame

I will be the flame

I'm goin’ crazy

I'm losin’ sleep

I'm in too far

I'm in way too deep

Over you

You'll always be the one

You were the first

You'll be the last

Wherever you go

I'll be with you

Whatever you want

I'll give it to you

Wherever you go

I'll be with you

And whatever you want

I'll give it to you
