Country. Song: Passion in the Summer Rain.

I watched you walk across that dusty parking lot
Your worn-out boots and faded jeans hit me like a shot
The way you tipped your hat and smiled when our eyes met
Set my heart on fire in ways I can't forget

But now these butterflies won't settle in my chest
Your laugh keeps echoing, won't let my soul find rest
I'm losing sleep over the way you said my name
Like honey dripping slow through summer rain
You got me burning bright
Like a flame I can't fight

The preacher man would say what I'm feeling ain't quite right
But Lord, you make me want to dance in broad daylight
Your hands look strong enough to hold my restless heart
And I've been praying we don't have to be apart

You got me burning bright
Like a flame I can't fight
I catch myself just staring when you're working in the field
The way you move with purpose makes my stubborn spirit yield
My mama always told me love would find me when it's time
But she never said it'd feel like drinking moonshine

The other girls in town, they whisper when I pass
Say I'm acting like a fool, but honey, this will last
You make me feel electric when you're standing next to me
Like lightning in a bottle, wild and running free

You got me burning bright
Like a flame I can't fight
If I could find the courage just to tell you how I feel
Would you take my trembling hand and make this feeling real?
'Cause every beat inside my chest is calling out your name
And I'm tired of pretending that I'm not going insane

The autumn leaves are falling but my fever's burning hot
I pace around my bedroom, thinking 'bout what we ain't got
This small town's full of talkers but they don't know what I know
That you're the kind of man worth letting my guard go

So when you see me Sunday dressed up in my best
Don't think it's for the sermon, you're the reason I'm obsessed
With looking like the woman that could stand beside you strong
And singing hallelujah to the beat of our own song
You got me burning bright
Like a flame I can't fight

The harvest moon is rising and I'm standing by my door
Hoping that you'll find me here like all the nights before
My heart's an open book that only you know how to read
You're everything I never knew I'd ever really need

So take this restless spirit and this love I can't contain
Make me yours forever through the sunshine and the rain
'Cause what we got between us is the truest thing I've known
And I don't want to spend another night here alone

You got me burning bright
Like a flame I can't fight
Like a flame I can't fight
Burning bright...
