After the Fire's Gone - Chris Else

Same dances in the same old shoes Some habits that you just can't lose There's no telling what a man might use, After the thrill is gone The flame rises but it soon descends Empty pages and a frozen pen You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends After the thrill is gone, oh, After the thrill is gone What can you do when your dreams come true And it's not quite like you planned? What have you done to be losing the one You held it so tight in your hand well Time passes and you must move on, Half the distance takes you twice as long So you keep on singing for the sake of the song After the thrill is gone You're afraid you might fall out of fashion And you're feeling cold and small Any kind of love without passion That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well Same dances in the same old shoes You get too careful with the steps you choose You don't care about winning but you don't want to lose After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone, oh After the thrill is gone

For a while, To love was all we could do, We were young and we knew And our eyes were alive, Deep inside we knew our love was true, For a while, We payed not mind to the past, We knew love would last every night, Something right, Would invite us to begin the dance Something happened along the way, What used to be happy is sad, Something happened along the way, And yesterday is all we have, And ooh, After the love has gone, How could you lead me on, And not let me stay around, Oh oh ooh, After the love has gone, What used to be right is wrong, Can love that's lost be found, For a while, To love each other with all, We would ever need, Love was strong, For so long, Never knew that why was wrong, Oh baby, Wasn't right, We tried to find what we had, Til sadness was all we shared, We were scared, This affair would lead our love into Something happened along the way, What used to be happy is sad, Something happened along the way, And yesterday is all we have, And ooh, X2 After the love has gone, How could you lead me on, And not let me stay around, Oh oh ooh, After the love has gone, What used to be right is wrong, Can love that's lost be found, Ohh ooh oh ohhhh ooooooohhh oh After the love has gone, How could you lead me on, And not let me stay around, Oh oh ooh, After the love has gone, What used to be right is wrong, Can love that's lost be found, Ohh ooh oh After the love has gone, What used to be right is wrong, Can love that's lost be found.
