The Heat In Your Life

Where would you be without love?
Where would you be without light?

Drifting along on a wave of tranquility. 
Happiness bought with a smile?

What happens to love as it burns?
The sun kissed path seems long but can you 
see where it turns into the night?

Can you feel the flame weakens in life’s winds?
Do you stop to protect the heat in your life?

Years come and go as the world turns
Days of fun and sorrow always lead to the night

So, where would you be without love?
Where would you be without light?
