You Put Out an Old Flame Last Night
Rekindling Love's Embers: Gene Watson's Journey to New Beginnings
Lyrics
I just called to thank you for turning me around
I express gratitude for your role in changing my direction in life.
And showing me how love feels when it's right
You've demonstrated how love feels when it's genuine and appropriate.
You erased a memory my teardrops couldn't drown
You eliminated a painful memory that my tears couldn't wash away.
When you put out an old flame last night
Last night, you extinguished a lingering emotional connection.
I never thought I'd find myself leaving her behind
I didn't anticipate leaving my previous partner, but now I am doing so.
But thanks to you, I finally see the light
Thanks to you, I've gained a new understanding and perspective.
'Cause I woke up this morning without her on my mind
This morning, I woke up without thoughts of my former lover.
You put out an old flame last night
You ended a longstanding emotional attachment last night.
It never even crossed my mind, finding someone else
It never occurred to me to find someone else due to my longstanding love.
'Cause I've been loving her 'most all my life
I have loved her for most of my life.
But you poured out more love to me than I have ever felt
You showered me with more love than I have ever experienced.
When you put out an old flame last night
Last night, you extinguished an old flame in a profound way.
I never thought I'd find myself leaving her behind
I find myself leaving my previous partner behind unexpectedly.
But thanks to you, I finally see the light
Your influence has allowed me to see things more clearly.
'Cause I woke up this morning without her on my mind
This morning, I woke up without thoughts of my former lover.
You put out an old flame last night
You ended a longstanding emotional attachment last night.
Yes, you put out an old flame last night
Yes, you extinguished a lingering emotional connection last night.
