Match Burns Twice

I'll bet you don't remember me
I sure remember you
Once we met in fantasy
And then when dreams came true
Always I will remember
Always I will remain
Linger like an ember
In a heart burst in to flame
Did you ever see a match burn twice
Fire lies in ash cold as ice
Kindled it will spark still the same
Igniting love's old flame
How then to know
Really know if my love is true
And will I go away
And will I remember you
Always I will remember
Always I will remain
Linger like an ember
In a heart burst in to flame
Did you ever see a match burn twice
Fire lies in ash cold as ice
Kindled it will spark still the same
Igniting love's old flame
