That Old Flame - Don Henley, Martina McBride

Got a message in my mailbox

From an old friend I hardly see

All it said was you were trying

To get in touch with me

And I stared down at your number

And I felt passion and I felt fear

And I wondered what the hell you wanted

After all these years

Cause there is danger in the embers

And you have only yourself to blame

If you get burned when you try to rekindle

That old flame

Well I know we ended badly

And I was angry for a long long time

But I’ve grown some

And I wanted you to know that

I’m doing just fine

And I’m not asking for a replay

I got no delusions, got no designs

Can I borrow just a little cup of kindness

For Auld Lang Syne

Cause there is danger in the embers

And you have only yourself to blame

If you get burned when you try to rekindle

That old flame

Speak to me plain

Tell me the truth

Is it really me you miss

Or just your long lost youth?

Yeah there is danger in the embers

And you know nothing, nothing stays the same

Yeah you can get burned when you try to rekindle

That old flame

Yeah you can get burned when you try to rekindle

That old flame
