Mary Chapin Carpenter - A Keeper For Every Flame Lyrics
She says its been so long she cant remember whenThe mention of his name didnt make her feel againThat everything is possible and every day a brand new startYeah loves something powerful when it finds a willing heartSometimes its a fire burning out of controlSometimes its a candle burning long and lowAll these years she never let it goTheres a keeper for every flameThere was someone in his past that he hasnt gotten over yetEach days like the last, he just misses what he cant forgetIts just an empty space where something used to beNow he guards the gate but hes lost the keySo no one enters but no one leavesTheres a keeper for every flameI thought my heart had broken but it was just a little bruisedI thought love had spoke, guess I was just confusedSometimes we were a fire burning out of controlSometimes we were nothing but a candle glowBut it never died baby and how I knowTheres a keeper for every flame
