I used to love him; that ain't no lie We had a good thing till he said goodbye Then, with one touch, you set my heart ablaze I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame A perfect match, that's what we are I'm gettin' over him underneath the stars The smoke has cleared from the hold he had on me I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame One by one, those old embers burn You came along when I had nowhere to turn Just when I thought I'd never love again I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame When I'm with you, I'm without a doubt We got a fire I don't ever want to put out And here with you is where I'm gonna stay Just burnin' old memories with a brand new flame One by one, those old embers burn You came along when I had no where to turn Just when I thought I'd never love again I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame
