She left me almost burned out, I couldn't feel a thing
A walkin' talkin' statue afraid to love again
She did everything to kill the flame, but a little spark got through
If she'd've got her way I'd be gone today if it hadn't been for you

You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring
You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames

She thought she had me down and out, but at the count of nine
A livin' lovin' angel showed up just in time
She thought that I would surely die, sometimes I wanted to
She had no doubt the fire was out, but she didn't count on you

You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring
You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames

You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring
You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames

You turned cold gray ashes into hot burning flames
