A Fire That Burns Too Bright

She was a lovely southern lady He was a strong and gentle man Each bound to another By a simple golden band But when they found each other Lord it seemed so right Drawn by the power Of a fire that burned too bright Well there's a fire that burns too bright You've gotta let it bank down low If it gives more heat than light Then it's a fire that burns too bright There's a fire that burns too bright You've gotta let it bank down low If it gives more heat than light Then it's a fire that burns too bright Well they could talk for hours 'Bout most anything But they couldn't forget the power Of those little golden rings So when they parted (they said) We'll be all right Warmed by the memory Of a fire that burned too bright Well there's a fire that burns too bright You've gotta let it bank down low If it gives more heat than light Then it's a fire that burns too bright There's a fire that burns too bright You've gotta let it bank down low If it gives more heat than light Then it's a fire that burns too bright If it gives more heat than light Then it's a fire that burns too bright She was a lovely southern lady He was a strong and gentle man
