Written by Joyce Allsup
C F We know it's wrong to let this fire burn between us C G7 We've got to stop this wild desire in you and in me C F So we'll let the flame burn once again until the thrill is gone F G7 C Then we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning F C We're two people caught up in a flame that has to die out soon F C G7 I didn't mean to start this fire and neither did you C F So tonight when you hold me tight we'll let the fire burn on F G7 C And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning C F Each time when we meet we both agree that it's for the last time C G7 But out of your arms I'm out of my mind C F So we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning F G7 C And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning G7 C F Yes we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning F C And we'll sweep out the ashes F C We'll sweep out the ashes F G7 C We'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
