Love’s Eternal Flame 1A

Love’s Eternal Flame

Verse 1

She was my heartbeat, I was her soul
Two lonely strangers trying to fill a hole
We met one evening where the neon softly glowed
A quiet little tavern down a forgotten road

I lit a light inside her, she lit one deep in me
And suddenly tomorrow was something I could see
I never knew what wanting was till poetry sang her name
And every day that followed fed love’s eternal flame

Chorus

Oh, love’s eternal flame still burns beyond goodbye
Though time may take the body, it cannot claim the sky
The memories keep dancing where the years once gently came
And in my heart forever burns love’s eternal flame

Verse 2

She bloomed just like a rose no season could deny
Bringing joy to every room, sunshine to every eye
Fifty years of laughter, fifty years of tears
A thousand little moments scattered through the years

She sang a song of kindness that everyone could hear
A melody of comfort that always drew us near
The world became much brighter every time she spoke my name
And every note she offered fed love’s eternal flame

Chorus

Oh, love’s eternal flame still burns beyond goodbye
Though time may take the body, it cannot claim the sky
The memories keep dancing where the years once gently came
And in my heart forever burns love’s eternal flame

Bridge

Today the Lord has called her to a place I cannot see
And though I stand here grieving, her love remains with me
I cry not just for losing her, but for those left behind
The family, friends, and countless souls touched by her gentle light

These are not tears of sorrow alone that fill my eyes
They’re tears of gratitude for all she gave our lives
For every heart she warmed along the road that she became
A keeper of the fire called love’s eternal flame

Final Chorus

Oh, love’s eternal flame still burns beyond goodbye
Beyond the pain of parting and every question why
The memories surround me and softly speak her name
And in my heart forever burns love’s eternal flame

Outro

So this is not farewell, my dear, it’s only for a while
I’ll carry all your laughter and remember every smile
Until we meet again beyond the wind and rain
I’ll hold you in my heart, my love…

Love’s eternal flame.
