(My flame, my flame, my flame)

(I know, oh)

Heart fell outta my chest when I met you

Forty-eight hours mama worked to send you

Into this world, baby girl, how did get you?

And I can't believe my eyes, no, no

Couple years pass and I ain't been the same since

Mama pregnant again, but this time it's twins

When they came, boy, I was scared shitless

And I can't believe my eyes, no

Now my house a mess and my records knocked down

Buncha food on floor stuck to my socks now

And I got no time for these golf clubs now

But I'd have it no other way

Some things you just can't be ready for

You're what I hold steady for

Till the day that I die (I don't know, yeah, yeah)

Some things you just can't be ready for

You’ll be what I been waiting for

For the rest off my life (I know one thing's for sure)

And we gon' get older

And things gonna change

But you're still my flame

You're still my flame

You're still my flame

You're still my flame

Fast forward fourteen years

Catch 'em skipping class, smoking weed in the basement

Doing things I did, I guess that I can't get too mad

Thinking 'bout the way I woulda acted as a new dad

Tying up your shoes, now I'm driving you to school grad

Couple years pass and Daddy give you first dance

Tears down my face, I don’t ever wanna lose that

'Cause you're the greatest thing that I did in this world, mm

Some things you just can't be ready for

You're what I hold steady for

Till the day that I die (I don't know, yeah, yeah)

Some things you just can't be ready for

You’ll be what I been waiting for

For the rest off my life (I know one thing's for sure)

And we gon' get older

And things gonna change

But you're still my flame

You're still my flame

You're still my flame

You're still my flame

Now we getting to the last page

Story of my life, I wish we were only half way

Try to muster up the words, but all that I can say

Is you the greatest thing that I did in this world, mm

Surrounded by you and my grandkids

Me and Mama couldn’t write it better if we planned it

Only thing I wonder is how did time vanish? Yeah

I don't wanna say goodbye, no

Some things you just can't be ready for

You're what I hold steady for

Till the day that I die (I don't know, yeah, yeah)

Some things you just can't be ready for

You’ll be what I been waiting for

For the rest off my life (I know one thing's for sure)

And we gon' get older

And things gonna change

But you're still my flame

You're still my flame

You're still my flame

You're still my flame
