about

Old names that ring a bell and old flames that once burned bright
I won't forget the girls i kissed and never made my bride.

lyrics

Old Flames. – written by G D Sweeney

A photo of Rose, from her head to her toes
And a smile that could stop the rain
She was the picture of bliss
Til her marriage to Chris, meant 10 long years in vein.

I see an image of Jane…in the summer rain
As the water drips down her dress
She was the belle of the town
But life got her down and now she’s a bit of a mess.

Old names that ring a bell
Old flames that once burned bright
I won’t forget the girls I kissed
And never made my bride.

There’s a song I hear from time to time
That makes me think of Meg
She loved to sing and dance a jig
But the drink has taken her legs

Oh Julie dear, your heart was so pure
And thoughts of love, too much
Religion was her weakness
And she married to the church

Old names that ring a bell
Old flames that once burned bright
I won’t forget the girls I kissed
And never made my bride.

Sarah was the fairest brunette
You’ve ever seen up close
To my surprise now, she’s twice the size
But I’ll remember her, just how she was.

I held a candle for Mary Jane
It was an everlasting flame
But the fire blew out, in the middle of the night
When she called out some other guy’s name.

Old names that ring a bell
And Old flames that once burned bright
I won’t forget the girls I kissed and never made my bride.
