Lyrics
- There was a fire burning in my heart
Burning for years and for years
Your love and kisses gave that flame a start
I put it out with my tears
You don’t remember, I can’t forget
That old affection lives with me yet
I keep on longing, to my regret
I know I can’t forget
Chorus
There’s a little spark of love still burning
And yearning in my heart for you
There’s a longing there for your returning
I want you! I do!
So come, come to my heart again
Come, come, set that love a flame
For there’s a little spark of love still burning
And yearning for you
- I left you laughing when I said goodbye
Laughing but nobody knew
How much relief I found when I could cry
I cried my heart out for you
I’ve loved you more than you’ll ever know
Tho’ years have passed I’ve wanted you so
Bring back the old love, let new love grow
Come back and whisper low
