	I have heard many musicians say that nothing in their lives was more important to them than their music. They are wrong! but, by the time they figure it out , it's usually too late. The people we love are the most important part of our lives, they are our "Flame In The Night"

	Story Behind the Song Through the years that I have been in this business, I have heard over and over again, musicians saying that there was nothing in their lives that was more important to them than their music. It took me awhile, and I made some bad mistakes, but, I finally realized that they were wrong. The truth, really, is that there is nothing more important than the people we love and who love us. You can have all the success in the world and it becomes 'cold comfort' when you have no one to share it with. People are the greatest inspiration there is in music and when you forget it you'll find yourself alone. I've written two songs about this realization and getting a second chance to make it right. The first song was on my first CD, 'Rider', and was called, 'I'm A Lucky Man', and was about getting that second chance. 'Flame In The Night' is about that person who provides the love and stability that all artists need, and about the recognition that that person deserves. She's, 'Whispering to me, love's sweetest mysteries that set the best part of me free, she's my Flame In The Night'. Lyrics Flame In The Night Verse 1 I wake up screaming in the night with just your empty place here beside me Embracing memories in the darkness Till I am back in your arms once again You are my FLAME IN THE NIGHT Verse 2 In the distance I can see your image calling to me in the moonlight In my dreams I can feel you beside me There is no other face in my life No other FLAME IN THE NIGHT Chorus You're the memory I need when I'm all alone Burning in the night, calling me home Whispering to me Love's sweetest mysteries, set the best part of me free You're my FLAME IN THE NIGHT Bridge This empty life I've led, the wasted years up on the stage, under the lights You leave the ones you love to chase your dreams of the road It's time to realize the truth that's written on the pages of our lives Or you'll awake and find your FLAME IN THE NIGHT has grown cold Your flame has grown cold..........(Inst) Verse 3 There is a fire in the sky, it is my guide, you're my destination So many hours and miles between us But, that will end with the dawn of this day I'll hold my FLAME IN THE NIGHT Chorus You're the memory I need when I'm all alone Burning in the night, calling me home Whispering to me Love's sweetest mysteries, set the best part of me free You're the memory I need when I'm all alone Burning in the night, calling me home Whispering to me Love's sweetest mysteries, set the best part of me free Outro You're my FLAME IN THE NIGHT, FLAME IN THE NIGHT Whispering to me, love's sweet mysteries You're the memory I need, calling out to me There is a fire in the night, burning up the sky You're my FLAME IN THE NIGHT, FLAME IN THE NIGHT You're my FLAME IN THE NIGHT.....................
