Cheap Trick - The Flame Lyrics






Another night slowly closes in
And I feel so lonely
Touching heat freezing on my skin
I pretend you still hold me
I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you
I can't believe you're gone
You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go, I'll be with you
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

Watching shadows move across the wall
I feel so frightened
I wanna run to you, I wanna call
But I've been hit by lightning
Just can't stand up for fallin' apart
Can't see through this veil across my heart, over you
You'll always be the one
You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go, I'll be with you
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon.
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you
You'll always be the one
You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go, I'll be with you
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon.
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

Whatever you want, I'll give it to you
Wherever you go, I'll be with you
And whatever you want, I'll give it to you

    I miss the 80s when the music was awesome the people were great and it's so cool to relive it with these fantastic songs.I'd go back there in a heartbeat.😁👌🧡💜🎵🎼🎧🎤

  10. G.... L....

    Take me back to when this was came out for the first time. WOW!!!!!

  11. T.... D....

    Hi Sommay. I love you shorty!

  12. J.... R....

    “Just can’t stand up from falling apart can’t see through this vail across my heart over you” such a great fucking line love this song🤘🤘🤘

  13. J.... C....

    ICONIC and TIMELESS are two potent and relevant adjectives which are affective to help describe “THE FLAME”. The same can be said for the music video. I was fifteen years old during the summer of 1988 ... still remember not being able to walk into a record store, turn on FM radio or tune to MTV for more than a few minutes without hearing/seeing this now-classic song.

    The 1980s were famous for the so-called ‘power ballad’. Of all the releases from the genre that fit this mold, “THE FLAME” may just be my very favorite.

    This was the only BILLBOARD number one single for the band. It WILL stand the test of time.

  14. M.... A....

    Se me hace estúpido estar aquí buscando buena música y que en los anuncios pongan videos de regueaton ubiquence

  15. J.... C....

    I found funny the drummer looks almost exactly like Edmund kemper the cereal killer jajajajah

  16. J.... E....

    this song is too powerfull

  17. J.... S....

    This was one of those predictable ballads that was played on the radio ad nauseum in 1989. Hated it then. Hate it only slightly less now. At a time when progressive rock and hip hop were pushing boundaries, and grunge rock was starting to form, we still had bands like this forcing ballads onto FM radio. Thankfully, it would not last much longer. Old Cheap Trick is awesome, but The Flame is complete trash and always was. I knew that at age 15 in 1988.

  18. G.... F....

    Beautiful song man.who's with me?Who still listen in 2020?

  19. G.... J....

    False praise sag award true false

  20. T.... T....

    Who listening 2020?

  21. D.... W....

    Great song

  22. M.... F....

    I guess my flame was in highschool. I dreamt about her for years after we broke up. We dated a year in our mid twenties ten years ago but I won't let that taint my memories

  23. t.... ....

    Rick Nielsen, a beast to play that 5 neck

  24. K.... H....

    i thanks for my living at 80's.great times.

  25. R.... T....

    One of the best band's on the planet.

  26. F.... Z....

    Second worst Cheap Trick song

  27. n.... k....

    Happy Birthday Robin! 1 23

  28. d.... f....

    Any one here 2020? :)

  29. J.... K....

    This was the #1 single in the US the week I was born. I'm happy with that.

  30. A.... ....

    Remember when every male vocalist wasn't trying to sound like Creed or Nickleback . Oh you can't? Sorry about your luck, cuz I was 16 when this came out.

  31. R.... c....

    Colombia 2020 🇨🇴🥰

  32. L.... D....

  54. B.... P....

    Even though the band prefers to distance themselves from the song, it always has a special space in my heart. Growing up in 80s watching this on MTV will always bring me back to great summer memories

  55. J.... G....

    Miss the 80's
