Nina Simone - Keeper Of The Flame lyrics

I'm the keeper of the flame

My torch of love lights his name

Ask no pity about my shame

I'm the keeper of the flame

Played with fire and I was burned

Gave a heart but I was spurned

All this time how I have yearned

Just to have my love returned

Years have passed by

And the spark still remains

True love can't die

It smolders in flames

When the fire is burning out

And the angels call my name

Dying love will leave no doubt

That I'm the keeper of the flame

Years have passed by

And the spark still remains

True love can't die

It smolders in flames

When the fire is burning out

And the angels call my name

Dying love will leave no doubt

That I'm the keeper of the flame

Dying love will leave no doubt

That I'm the keeper of the flame

I'm the keeper of the flame
