[Verse 1]
I tried hundred proof whiskey, but it just fueled the flame
That just keeps on burning so true
There's no other light that shines quite as bright
As this torch that I carry for you

[Verse 2]
I've tried to forget you but it just can't be done
My old heart just won't love someone new
No, I've never found a way to lay down
This torch that I carry for you

[Chorus]
My heart will never leave your shadow, dear
I know I can't have you but just let me be here
'cause I'll make it all right if you'll stand in the light
Of this torch that I carry for you

[Interlude]

[Outro Chorus]
Yes, I'll makе it all right if you'll stand in the light
Of this torch that I carry for you
Oh, this torch that I carry for you (carry for you)
