Bernadette Peters - Carrying A Torch lyrics

There goes the guy who once made me hold my head so high There goes the guy that built my hopes and dreams up to the sky Excuse me, oh, excuse me for staring But this girl's still carrying a torch There goes the guy who's still my only reason to be living He left me as a fact but if he ever want it back I'll be forgiving Hurting me, forcing me But I'm still carrying a torch, carrying a torch
