Lyrics
Sittin' and starin'
at the lamplight
and I know as the flame
begins to rise
that the shadows I see
will always stay over me
and the words that I heard
they were all lies
Ain't it funny what you see
in the lamplight
when you close up you eyes
night after night
and the shadows I see
will always stay over me
and the words that I heard
they were all lies
oh but I've tasted the sweetness
of the love that you deny
and I can treasure the memories
of the warmth I 've seen in your eyes
and its keepin' my heart alive
Sittin' and starin'
at the lamplight
and I know as the flame
begins to rise
that the shadows I see
will always stay over me
and the words that I heard
they were all lies
oh but I've tasted the sweetness
of the love that you deny
and I can treasure the memories
of the warmth I 've seen in your eyes
and its keepin' my heart alive
and it's keepin' my heart alive
