Lyrics
A Kiss From An Old Flame
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
With a wink from a starlet's eye a string of pearls come to life
Who knows what black and crazy thoughts swim inside a
girlfriend's heart
No brighter jewel is there above than the gem of a girl still in
love
Below the horizon the last crown jewel pales among the stars at
noon
When out of the blue a rainbow rockets thru
A kiss from an old flame A trip to the moon
Endlessly falling my way downtown someone to throw both arms
around
Who knows what black and crazy names swim around inside her
brain
adrift across the silver screen just imagine you and me
Our strolling make-believe ballroom glides set the rainbow room
afire
Off into the starlit nite two fools rush in you and I
Feel the rough hand close behind above the Heaven's Open wide...
