Kenny Loggins - Keep The Fire Lyrics






There's a river in
Evening ember glow
And you're wishing you could see
How far it flows
Rolling on to an endless sea
You'd be well on your way
If you could only set sail.

But dreams can drift away
And sails can fill with doubt
Where's your vision
If the embers flicker out?
Don't let it slip from view

The horizons are waiting
Your river is fading

[Chorus:]
So keep the fire burning tonight
See just what comes into sight
Don't take forever
Take it through the night

And believe the sun
Will rise with the dawn
That's all you need to go on
But for tonight
Just keep the fire burning bright

I will never need to ask
"What have I done?"
Comes a moment when it's clear
There's only one.
Oh, whatever you need of me
I've made up my mind
I'll give you more than you've asked for

And there are those who can foresee
Where we will go
All the future...
I don't really want to know
Only that you'll be here with me.

While the embers still glow
We'll be safe till tomorrow.

  12. D.... S....

    I had this album in 1980

  13. D.... S....

    Thank you, Uploader. Out of all his many, many hits, this is my favorite KL song.

  14. D.... E....

    One of my most favorite Kenny Loggins songs. Today's music is total crap by comparison.

  15. K.... A....

    Was very lucky that he comes in concert to this nice small arena called Wolf Trap in Vienna Virginia almost every year. I've seen him in concert many times and it never gets old! Great performer!!!

  16. L.... M....

    Who can live without this

  17. R.... R....

    Jesus christ

  18. L.... W....

    Best advice for the long-term relation worth keeping.

    Very American Bandstand

  20. M.... M....

    yacht rock at its finest!

  21. d.... k....

    14 y/o African American boy that loves kenny loggins... check!

  22. m.... ....

    Just bought this album on vinyl. What a classic!

  23. S.... C....

    I heard this little gem for the first time just a few days ago, thanks to a local radio station, (93.9 MY FM, WCRE) and their checking the playlist. Try THAT with these large corporate radio conglomerates. How I missed it back then I'll never know. (Probably came and went while I was on yet another Navy deployment).

  24. T.... ....

    To all my fellow JoJo fans out there, I named my fanmade stand after this song. Kenny Loggins will always have a special spot in my heart

  25. D.... H....

    yes that long rita

  26. E.... N....

    I saw him live in Pueblo Colorado in 1998

  27. n.... ....

    "Let me yacht rock or let me die"....chuuch!!!

    n.... ....

    It's NOT "yacht rock." Calling it that just shows how incomplete your rock vocabulary is. There never was any "Yacht Rock." That's insane.

    n.... ....

    @Walter Pewen Oh but there actually is and Kenny Loggins makes sure to dress for it.

  28. J.... D....

    Always keep the Fire!

  29. R.... A....

    KEEP THE FIRE BURNING....ALWAYS! LATER!

  30. T.... V....

    My stepmother used to play this song a lot when it first came out. We lost her not long ago and this song reminds me of her. Truly an underrated song. The last minute is awesome.

    T.... V....

    So sorry for your loss :(

    T.... V....

    Troy Vincent

    L.... B....

    @ChihuahuaboyDH Not commercial enough.

  40. S.... J....

    Awesome song. Remember this from the spring of 1980. Too bad it didn't chart higher.

  41. P.... L....

  45. T.... H....

    I Love KL

  46. r.... 1....

    This Song is Great an so is Kenny!

  47. w.... ....

    I have NEVER heard Kenny Loggin's vloice sound so horrible. He doesn't even sound like a professional singer in this recording. JUst terrible. Doesn't even sound like himself.

    w.... ....

    Saw him playing at a local faire many years ago now. He had a buzz cut, no facial hair and we thought he was one of the roadies for the band. During the show he sang very little spending most of the time during songs pointing his microphone at the audience letting them sing instead. We left early. Dumb.

  48. T.... H....

    Why is such a notable song for so many? Thoughts?

    T.... H....

    For me I remember younger happier days surrounded by wonderful people, drinking lots of wine and not worrying about getting old. Cheers.

  49. T.... H....

    I agree

  50. C.... ....

    Surprising this charted @ #36 on the Hot 100 singles chart. Should've charted MUCH higher! Very underrated song!

    Bravo, Kenny Loggins!

  51. e.... ....

    It's a tribute to KoKo, prick!
