(Dolly Parton - Dorothy Jo Hope)

Familiar sounds tell me it's morning
The night has been so dark and long
Each night without you just gets longer
While this torch I still carry just burns stronger.

I know I never will stop loving you
My tears just can't put out the flame
Or drown my hopes of your returning
'Cause baby the fire's still burning.

--- Instrumental ---

Wherever you are I hope you're happy
Although your love for me has died
But if you ever need or want me
I'll take you back any time.

I know I never will stop loving you
My tears just can't put out the flame
Or drown my hopes of your returning
'Cause baby the fire's still burning.

Yes, baby the fire's still burning...
