Lyrics
I saw you staring at each other
I observed you looking at each other
I saw your eyes be-gin to glow
I noticed the beginning of a radiant expression in your eyes
And I could tell you once were lover's
It's evident that you both were once lovers
You ain't hiding nothing I don't know
You're not concealing anything about your past that I'm unaware of
There's an old flame, burning in your eyes
There's a longstanding emotional connection reflected in your gaze
That tears can't drown,and make-up can't disguise
Emotions so deep that tears can't extinguish and makeup can't conceal
That old flame may not be stronger, but it's been burning longer
While that old flame might not be more intense, it has endured longer
Than any spark I might have,started in your eyes
Compared to any recent affection I may have kindled in your eyes
You said it ended when he left you
You claimed it concluded when he departed from your life
You say your love for him is gone
You assert that your love for him has faded
But those old memories still up set you
However, those lingering old memories still disturb you
For I might be a memory before to long
I may become a memory sooner than later
There's an old flame burning in your eyes
There's a persistent flame of past passion in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Unquenchable by tears and impervious to the camouflage of makeup
That old flame may not be stronger, but it's been burning longer
Although that old flame may not be more powerful, it has endured longer
Than any spark I might have,started in your eyes
Than any recent spark I may have ignited in your eyes
There's an old flame burning in your eyes
There's a lingering flame of the past in your gaze
That tears can't drown,and make-up can't disguise
Resistant to being extinguished by tears and immune to disguise through makeup
