Lyrics
I?ll always Keep your flame burning in my heart
My sweet friend it?s so hard to say goodbye
Although it?s very hard to do I know I have to try
For you to leave so soon makes no sense to me
Without your guiding wisdom I don?t know where I?d be
To no longer have you in my life is tearing me apart
But I?ll always keep your flame burning in my heart
For all the times we laughed and all the times we cried
For all the way made us feel about ourselves inside
For the gift of love you brought us, we?re forever in your debt
Knowing your love will go on for generations yet
You shared your gentle love with us right from the very start
And I ?ll always keep your flame burning in my heart
You blossomed like a rose and now the bloom has gone
But each of us keeps part of the light you shone
Like a wave you travelled, now you?ve returned to the sea
Now at last I know your spirit can be free
Of one thing I am sure about although we?ve had to part
I?ll always keep your flame burning in my heart
