lyrics

Cracklin' kindlin' flame

Sittin’ by the wood stove
Dreamin’ bout my Heather
Not a day goes by
I don't see her smile
Lord I miss her

Bucket on the porch
Shawl up by the sill
Remindin’ me of when
We used to walk out to the mill

Cracklin' kindlin' flame

---Chorus---
She ain't here to warm her hands
She ain't here to brush her hair
She ain't here to hear me yell
She ain't here to ring the dinner bell

She ain't here to touch my face
She ain't here to see me sigh
She ain't here to hold my hand
She ain't here to watch me die

Cracklin' kindlin' flame

Candle's gettin' dim
Picture on the table
The cracked glass hints
At a day we made
A promise to each other

She said, Jack
There's only one thing
I want you can't take back
Your love, ‘til your last breath
Your beatin’ heart ‘til death

Cracklin' kindlin' flame

-Chorus-

She ain't here to hold my hand
She ain't here to watch me die

Cracklin' kindlin' flame
