[Verse 1]

The first time I ever saw you

You had that far away look in your eyes

And Heaven's light shined down upon you

And the whole room filled up with light

Well, the cruel world, it's gon' try to change you

Try to hang you up and mess with your pride

Now, the rips and tears try to drain you

You've got to keep your fire burning and fight

[Chorus]

Promise me you won't let them put out your fire

Put out your fire

Promise me you won't let them put out your fire

Put out your fire

[Verse 2]

Now, sometimes, the world tries to slap you

And it seems to love watching you fall

I won't lie to you, it's gonna happen

You got to pick yourself up and move on

[Chorus]

Promise me you won't let them put out your fire

Put out your fire

Promise me you won't let them put out your fire

Put out your fire

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Which star will I be thinking of tonight?

Tonight

Which star will I be thinking of tonight?

Tonight

[Chorus]

Promise me you won't let them put out your fire

Put out your fire

Promise me you won't let them put out your fire

Put out your fire

[Outro]

Promise me (Why don't you?)

Promise me (Why don't you?)

Promise me (Why don't you?)

Promise me (Why don't you?)
