Alabama - Old Flame Lyrics

I saw you staring at each other

I saw your eyes be-gin to glow

And I could tell you once were lover's

You ain't hiding nothing I don't know

There's an old flame, burning in your eyes

That tears can't drown, and make-up can't disguise

That old flame may not be stronger, but it's been burning longer

Than any spark I might have, started in your eyes

You said it ended when he left you

You say your love for him is gone

But those old memories still up set you

For I might be a memory before to long

There's an old flame burning in your eyes

That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise

That old flame may not be stronger, but it's been burning longer

Than any spark I might have, started in your eyes

There's an old flame burning in your eyes

That tears can't drown, and make-up can't disguise
