(Terri Clark)

We Pass In The Hallway
I Stop To Kiss You On The Cheek
But You're In A Hurry
You've Got A Deadline You Must Meet
You're Working So Much These Days
You Don't Have Time To Spend With Me
But I Keep Hoping We Might Get Back
To The Way Love Used To Be

I Am The Keeper Of The Flame
You Only Helped Me Build The Fire
And It's Getting Harder Every Day
To Make Our Love Burn With Desire
'Cause If I Left It Up To You
Only Ashes Would Remain
When It Needs Shelter From The Rain
I Am The Keeper Of The Flame

We Live Here Together
But I Feel We're Worlds Apart
When I Tell You I Love You
You Never Listen With Your Heart
I May Look Like I'm Doing Fine
But I'm Dying Deep Inside
'Cause I've Done All That I Can Do
To Try And Keep This Love Alive

I Am The Keeper Of The Flame
You Only Helped Me Build The Fire
And It's Getting Harder Every Day
To Make Our Love Burn With Desire
'Cause If I Left It Up To You
Only Ashes Would Remain
When It Needs Shelter From The Rain
I Am The Keeper Of The Flame

Oh, When It Needs Shelter From The Rain
I Am The Keeper Of The Flame
