I tried hundred proof whiskey to just fuel 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



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



My heart will never leave your shadow, dear

I know I can't have you but just let me be there

'Cause I'll make it alright if you'll stand in the light

Of this torch that I carry for you



Yes I'll make it alright 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
