Lyric

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

BOTH- Love is where you find it
R.V.- When you find no love at home, and there’s
BOTH- nothing cold as ashes after
the fire is gone

D.S.- The bottle is almost empty, the clock just now struck ten, darlin’ I had to call you
to our favorite place again
R.V.- We know it’s wrong for us to meet, but the
fire’s gone out at home
BOTH- And there’s nothing cold as ashes after
the fire is gone
Love is where you find it
R.V.- When you find no love at home, and there’s
BOTH- nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone

R.V.- Your lips are warm and tender, your arms hold me just right, sweet words of love you remember, at the one at home forgot
D.S.- Each time we say’s the last time, but we keep hanging on
BOTH- And there’s nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone
Love is where you find it
R.V.- When you find no love at home
BOTH- And there’s nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone
