Flames Of Paradise

Song byElton John
in AlbumEmpty Sky

Written by Bruce Roberts and Andy Goldmark

You're walking, talking like a flame, baby

You're walking, talking like a flame, baby

Never knew what my heart would be facing

Guess I must have been blind saying goodbye yo you, baby

Close my eyes at night I can taste it

I'm running back in the fire where I once had you, baby

You said don't ever leave me

But I say that's something I won't ever do

I want you back in my arms

In the flames of paradise

In the flames of paradise

I want you back in my arms

In the flames of paradise

The flames of paradise

I give all of my love just to you

It's been so long baby

I give you all my love waits for you

Don't take too long baby

I've been making some brave conversation

Telling friends I'm way better off without you

Then I was living in my imagination

Thinking I could make it without you too baby

My heart tried to deceive me

But that's one thing it just can't do

You said don't ever leave me

Oh that's one thing I won't ever do
