AS I SAW THE SPARKLING FLAME WHEN I SAW YOU PASSING BY
RISING TO THE DARKENING SKY
I REMEMBERED ONE NOVEMBER NIGHT
I NEVER NOTICED YOU BEFORE
BUT IN THAT FIRELIGHT GLOW
I KNEW THAT ONE DAY YOU’D BECOME
SOMEONE I’D LIKE TO KNOW
RISING TO THE DARKENING SKY
I REMEMBERED ONE NOVEMBER NIGHT
I NEVER NOTICED YOU BEFORE
BUT IN THAT FIRELIGHT GLOW
I KNEW THAT ONE DAY YOU’D BECOME
SOMEONE I’D LIKE TO KNOW
THE ROARING FLAMES THAT SWEPT THE SKY
HAD LEFT A SMOKEY HAZE
AND THROUGH THE SHROUD THAT WRAPPED THE CROWD
I SAW YOUR LOVELY GAZE
HOW COULD WE KNOW AS YEARS WENT BY
OUR LOVE WOULD FADE–AT LAST WOULD DIE
BUT I CAN’T FORGET THAT NOVEMBER DAY
WHEN FIREWORKS BROUGHT YOU PAST MY WAY
NO LEAPING FLAMES WILL EVER BE
AS WARM AS LOVE YOU GAVE TO ME
