    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.....................
