Lyrics

The first time that I saw you, my heart was filled with fire
Consumed with fever from the flames of my desire
Then I saw your eyes light up as you discovered me
You stoked the inferno that I knew our love could be

The fireworks were amazing in those good old days
Our passion quickly grew into a raging blaze
But while the bonfire roared, we used up all our fuel
Now all that?s left is ashes, my heart?s begun to cool

More than ashes, baby can?t you feel the heat?
More than ashes, I ain?t beatin? no retreat
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust you say but we got
More than ashes girl, so don?t you walk away

When I whispered in your ear, it used to make you blush
And when I squeezed ya tight, your cheeks would get all flushed
Our kisses were so heated, it seemed we would ignite
Then I?d carry you to bed and we?d combust all night

At first I worried that my love was more than you could handle
Afraid my torch, would outshine your candle
But now the flames are gone, and I?m afraid I?ll choke
Where there was a fire darlin?, now there?s only smoke

More than ashes, baby can?t you see the light?
More than ashes, babe this fire?s still burnin? bright
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust you say but we got
More than ashes girl, so don?t you walk away

Well I?m likin? what I?m hearing, and thought the fire?s dwindled
My love?s still smoldering, hell it could be rekindled
Your searing words of love, have sparked me to remember
Darling would you kindly reach down and stir my embers

Then our pyrotechnics made the night shine just like day
They say that you could see the glow from 50 miles away
Every single fire truck from every nearby town
Rushed to the scene as we burned the damn place town

Ashes to ashes, that?s what she said
Now we?ve got a smoke detector mounted to the bed
Ashes to ashes, she tried to make me doubt
But where there?s
Smoke there?s fire and this fire ain?t goin? out
Ashes to ashes, she tried to make me doubt
But where there?s
Smoke there?s fire and this fire ain?t goin? out
