There's nothing left but burning memories And that flame just won't flare up inside of me Although you're gone I see you everywhere So I keep stirring up the embers of an old love affair New loves sometimes take the place of old But I can't turn my love for you from one to hold You're not in my arms but on my mind you're there So I keep stirring up the embers of an old love affair [ piano ] For me no future too much from the past So I'll take my mem'ries and keep them while they last I'll add the fuel then handle them with care And keep stirring up the embers of an old love affair
