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

  5. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! I am really glad you enjoyed this. In respect to Adullamite being a Pom, methinks he just might be, but I'm not really sure what a Pom is.

  6. I'm sure he'll explain it all to you if he read the above, Jerry! ;)

  7. But in case he doesn't...us colonials aka we Aussies call the English "Pommies" or "Poms" (affectionately, of course); but seeing Adullamite is Scottish, he's not a Pom!

    What the Poms call us is probably unprintable! ;)
