Stop the Fire!

(Original tune, in the style of Journey)

(Lead and background singers)
He shuts his eyes and here she comes again.
He falls asleep and there she is again:

Kisses in the night,
Arms to hold on tight,
Oh, stop the fire!
Passions rising high,
Hear the wordless cry,
Stop the fire!

(Lead singer only)
You can't know how much it hurts to wake, and then
Find out that your love was just a dream again.
If I can't see you in the daylight world,
If I can't love you in the waking world:

(All singers)
Let my dreaming be,
Set my poor heart free,
Stop the fire!
Let me breathe again,
Torment other men,
Oh, stop the fire!

(Lead singer)
And when my arms reach out and you're not there,
I wish I'd never kissed your silky hair.

(Background singers)
But if he gets his wish and dreams no more,
He'll wish he had them back just like before:

(All singers)
Lips that spark and flame,
Voice to call his name,
Oh, bring the fire!
Throats that gasp and sigh,
Love cannot deny,
Bring the fire!

Kisses in the night,
Legs to hold on tight,
Oh, bring the fire!
Passions rising high,
Lonely lovers cry,
Bring the fire!

Bring the fire!
