Flames Of Paradise Elton John duet with Jennifer Rush Written by Bruce Roberts and Andy Goldmark Released as a single in 1987 You're walking, talking like a flame, baby You're walking, talking like a flame, baby Never knew what my heart would be facing Guess I must have been blind saying goodbye yo you, baby Close my eyes at night I can taste it I'm running back in the fire where I once had you, baby You said don't ever leave me But I say that's something I won't ever do I want you back in my arms In the flames of paradise In the flames of paradise I want you back in my arms In the flames of paradise The flames of paradise I give all of my love just to you It's been so long baby I give you all my love waits for you Don't take too long baby I've been making some brave conversation Telling friends I'm way better off without you Then I was living in my imagination Thinking I could make it without you too baby My heart tried to deceive me But that's one thing it just can't do You said don't ever leave me Oh that's one thing I won't ever do
