[1st verse:] Dearest, the day that I gazed in your eyes That was the day that Cupid came Some joyous feeling makes me realize My heart is wrapped up in a flame And you're piling coal of love, honey mine On my burning heart all the time Worried, unhappy I'm going about Fearing you'll put this fire out [Refrain:] You've built a fire down in my heart Dearest, it's burning higher than any house on fire Just like a live, live wire, right from the start Oh, my pretty heart's desire, you have built a fire Down in my heart [2nd verse:] Dearest, I promise this fire will burn Burn on until the end of time All that I ask of you dear in return Is lots of fuel, honey mine And if e'er a spark of love should depart From this fire down in my heart Honey, I hope the spark travels to you And sets your heart on fire too
