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
