Flames of passion rise and fade
Leave you branded in the shade
To lick your wounds, lick your wounds
I guess we've both been hurt before
Seen love escaping out through the door
Much too soon, way too soon
So if your dreams shall be fulfilled
Faith is something you must build
Over time, over time
Take it easy, take it slow
Through sun and rain, let it grow
Sweet friend of mine, sweet friend of mine
I don't wanna rush it
I don't wanna crush it
Not too fast, not too fast
Let's not jump the gun
Let's learn to walk before we run
To make it last, make it last
