Love is where you find it When you find no love at home And there's nothin' cold as ashes After the fire is gone The bottle is almost empty The clock just now struck ten Darlin' I had to call you To our favorite place again We know it's wrong for us to meet But the fire's gone out at home And there's nothin' cold as ashes After the fire is gone Love is where you find it When you find no love at home And there's nothin' cold as ashes After the fire is gone Your lips are warm and tender Your arms hold me just right Sweet words of love you remember That the one at home forgot Each time we say is the last time But we keep hangin' on And there's nothin' cold as ashes After the fire is gone Love is where you find it When you find no love at home And there's nothin' cold as ashes After the fire is gone
