[Verse 1]
Never too late for me to try
To brighten my lonely days
To frighten my clouds away
Ooh, if the right words you will only say
Baby, show a little spark of love
And it wouldn't be so dark above
Inside me burns a flame
Oh, I can't believe it burns in vain

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause what goes around
You know it really might come right back around
And my love, you might return
If I let this tortured hope for you just burn

[Chorus]
Gonna let love live a little bit longer
Let the cards burn a little bit stronger
Let it live, let it burn
Let it, let it burn

And one day that's where you're gonna be
So I'll hold on so patiently
Although you said we won't do
I'm gonna carry these cards for you
Sweetie pie, there's just no doubt
No, I don't wanna put the fire out
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause what goes around
You know it really might come right back around
And my love, you might return
If I let this tortured hope for you just burn

[Chorus]
I'm gonna let love live a little bit longer
Let the cards burn a little bit stronger
Let love live a little bit longer
Ain't gon' ever put the fire out

Gonna let love live, oh, just a little bit longer
And I'm gonna let the tortured thing a bit stronger
Oh, I'm gonna ...
