(Van Morrison)

I'm carryin' a torch for you
I'm carryin' a torch
You know how much it costs
To keep carryin' a torch 

Flame of love it burns so bright
That is my desire
Keep on liftin' me, liftin' me up
Higher and higher 

You're the keeper of the flame
And you burn so bright
Baby why don't we re-connect
Move into the light 

I've been going to and fro on this
And I'm still carryin' a torch
You must know how much it's worth
When I'm carryin' a torch (alright) 

Baby you're the keeper of the flame
And you burn so bright
Why, why, why, why, why, why don't we re-connect
And move on further, into the light 

I've been calling you on the phone
`Cause I'm carryin' a torch
I can do it all on my own
`Cause I'm carryin' a torch 

I'm carryin' a torch for you, baby
I'm carryin' a torch
You know how much it's worth
Because I'm carryin' a torch

I'm carryin' a torch for you, baby
I'm carryin' a torch
You know how much it's worth
Because I'm carryin' a torch.
