Cold Heart Ablaze

My heart was hard from a life of pain
I never thought I could love again.
The world had beaten me all apart
No one could touch my cold, cold heart.

Then you smiled at me with your eyes aglow
You started a fire deep down in my soul!
You brought the joy back into my days
Girl, you set my cold cold heart ablaze!

A real tough life turned my heart to steel
But your love for me broke my stubborn will!
My hopes and dreams had all been in vain
You brought me back from the edge of insane!

When you smiled at me with your eyes aglow
You started a fire deep down in my soul!
You lit a flame that I can't control
Lady, you made this broken man whole!

I really thought that I had to live by the gun
But you showed me how to live and have fun!
The light you give and the joy you impart
Have given my life a brand new start!

Yea, you smiled at me with your eyes aglow
You started a fire deep down in my soul!
You brought my dark life back to the light
And now I’m lovin’ you with all of my might!

You started a fire deep down in my soul

You lit a flame that I cannot control!

You brought the joy back into my days
Girl, you set my cold cold heart ablaze!

You set my cold cold heart ablaze.
