Relight My Fire

Artist: Dan Hartman
Album: Released as a Single
Year: 1979

Lyrics:
Help me escape this feeling of insecurity
I need you so much but I don't think you really need me
But if we all stand yo in the name of love
And state the case of what we're dreaming of
I've got to say I only dream of you
But like a thief in the night you took away the love that I knew

Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire because I need your love

Turn back the times 'til the days when our love was new
Do you remember
No matter what was happening, I was there with you
But if we all stand up for what we believe
And maybe live within our possibilities
The world would be wild for the dream
So baby don't turn away, listen to what I gotta say

Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire cos I need your love
Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire cos I need your love, yeah

You gotta be strong enough to walk on through the night
There's a new day on the other side
you gotta have hope in your soul, just keep on walking

You gotta be strong enough to walk on through the night
There's a new day on the other side
Cos I got hope in my soul I keep on walking baby

Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire cos I need your love
Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
