[1st verse:]
|
Dearest, the day that I gazed in your eyes
|
That was the day that Cupid came
|
Some joyous feeling makes me realize
|
My heart is wrapped up in a flame
|
And you're piling coal of love, honey mine
|
On my burning heart all the time
|
Worried, unhappy I'm going about
|
Fearing you'll put this fire out
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
You've built a fire down in my heart
|
Dearest, it's burning higher than any house on fire
|
Just like a live, live wire, right from the start
|
Oh, my pretty heart's desire, you have built a fire
|
Down in my heart
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Dearest, I promise this fire will burn
|
Burn on until the end of time
|
All that I ask of you dear in return
|
Is lots of fuel, honey mine
|
And if e'er a spark of love should depart
|
From this fire down in my heart
|
Honey, I hope the spark travels to you
|
And sets your heart on fire too
|
