Don Henley, Martina McBride - That Old Flame lyrics

[Don Henley, Martina McBride - That Old Flame lyrics]

Got a message in my mailbox
From an old friend I hardly see
All it said was you were trying
To get in touch with me

And I stared down at your number
And I felt passion and I felt fear
And I wondered what the hell you wanted
After all these years

Cause there is danger in the embers
And you have only yourself to blame
If you get burned when you try to rekindle
That old flame well I know we ended badly
And I was angry for a long long time
But, I've grown some
And I wanted you to know that
I'm doing just fine

And I'm not asking for a replay
I got no delusions, got no designs
Can I borrow just a little cup of kindness
For Auld Lang Syne

Cause there is danger in the embers
And you have only yourself to blame
If you get burned when you try to rekindle
That old flame

Speak to me plain tell me the truth
Is it really me you miss
Or just your long lost youth?

Yeah there is danger in the embers
And you know nothing, nothing stays the same
Yeah you can get burned when
You try to rekindle that old flame
Yeah you can get burned when
You try to rekindle that old flame
