Standing on the corner playing for nickels and dimes
When I saw you for the very first time
You said, "Come away with me gypsy boy"
Right then I could feel the spark
Burning, burning, lighting up the dark
And it set my heart, heart on fire

The years have fallen like the magnolia leaves
The summer storm has become this gentle breeze
But like when love was young
And the flamme was easy to start
Burning, burning, lighting up the dark
And it set my heart, heart on fire

Chorus
Heart on fire
I can't stop the burning
I'm running wild like a mischevious child
With my heart on fire

Hold on to your dreams for if they die
The fire burning will grow cold inside
