I am a fire
Can't you feel the heat
I am a furnace
Come burn in me
You are you are you are
The thing that makes me hotter
I need I need your love
To make me warmer
I'm burnin'
I'm burnin'

Just like the sun reveals the sky
Just like the torch become your guide
I'm a fire I'm a fire
And I'm burnin' so bright
Just like moon heats up the night
Just like star bursts into sight
I'm a fire I'm a fire
And I'm burnin' so bright

I am a fire
Can feel the heat yeah
I am desire
A girl in need
You are you are you are
The thing that makes me hotter
I need I need your love
It makes me warmer
I'm burnin' I'm burnin'

Just like the sun reveals the sky
Just like the torch become your guide
I'm a fire I'm a fire
And I'm burnin' so bright
Just like moon heats up the night
Just like star bursts into sight
I'm a fire I'm a fire
And I'm burnin' so bright

Burnin' so bright

You gave me everything I am
Came into my heart and tour it around
How could I know you'd be the one
Honestly I am so taken
I believe in me and I in you
You're like water on my chocolate
Your light
Can you feel it
Do I need to say it
Can't you just feel it
Take your time
Let me feel it
Oo baby, oo baby
Oo baby, oo baby
Oo baby, oo baby aye aye
Ohh eee aye aye
Ohh ee aye aye aye

And I'm burnin' so bright
Just like moon heats up the night
Just like star bursts into sight
I'm a fire I'm a fire
And I'm burnin so bright

I'm burnin'
I need ya
I'm burnin'
I need ya




I'm burnin'
And I need ya

The woman who wrote these very passionate words and sang this song was 59 years old and a grandmother. She died 4 years later of cancer.

Donna never produced an album that flopped, not even her last one at the end of her career. Truth be told she still had plenty of Music left in her to put out had she not left us so soon. There will never be another πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’
