Nothing could separate us
We knew our love was strong
But life was so short for her
And now she's gone, now she's gone
I never thought that I could take it
For this long, the pain is strong
I knew the sands of time would claim her
So young, so fast, I couldn't understand
Now I'm the owner of a broken heart
Now she's gone
I never thought that I could take it
For this long, the pain is strong

I found a letter she'd left by the phone
It was addressed to me
The last thing she wrote
Why did I have to read?

She said keep the fires burning
I'll come back to you someday
Keep the fires burning
And love will, love will find a way
Keep the fires burning
I'll come back to you someday
Keep the fires burning
And love will, love will find a way

A kiss had place a single rose
She sleeps in silence just below
Oh, please, you know I can't keep
Holding on, holding on
I must repair the heartache
And this shattered home, now she's gone

The last thing she wrote
Why did I have to read?
By day and night
I'm haunted by this memory

She said keep the fires burning
I'll come back to you someday
Keep the fires burning
And love will, love will find a way
Keep the fires burning
I'll come back to you someday
Keep the fires burning
And love will, love will find a way

I told that I'd love you for eternity
How can I love someone who isn't loving me

Keep the fires burning
I'll come back to you someday
She said, keep the fires burning
And love will, love will find a way
Keep the fires burning
I'll come back to you someday
She said, keep the fires burning
And love will, love will find a way

Keep the fires burning
I'll come back to you someday
Keep the fires burning
And love will, love will find a way

Keep the fires burning
I'm holding on, I'm holding on
Keep the fires burning
I'm holding on, yeah
