She left me almost burned out
I couldn't feel a thing
A walkin' talkin' statue
Afraid to love again

She did everything to kill a flame
But a little spark got through
If she'd a got her way I'd be gone today
If it hadn't been for you

You turned cold gray ashes into HOT BURNIN' FLAMES
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring
You turned cold gray ashes into HOT BURNIN' FLAMES

She thought she had me down and out
But at the count of nine
A livin' lovin' angel showed up just in time
She thought that I would surely die
Sometimes I wanted to
She had no doubt the fire was out
But she didn't count on you

You turned cold gray ashes into HOT BURNIN' FLAMES
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring
You turned cold gray ashes into HOT BURNIN' FLAMES

You turned cold gray ashes into HOT BURNIN' FLAMES
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring
You turned cold gray ashes into HOT BURNIN' FLAMES
