Velvet Voice Blues — I Still Got Fire Dance Blues

I woke up laughing at the mirror
Saw a few more lines today
But every line has got a story and
I wouldn't trade one away
I put my red dress on my body
Let the music lead the way
I still got the fire
Still got the rhythm taking me higher
Life ain't over
Not tonight
I still got the fire
They say youth is made for dancing
Like the years should slow us down but
I've learned the sweetest rhythm
After falling to the ground
Now
I know exactly who
I am
When that
Latin beat comes around
I still got the fire
Still got the rhythm taking me higher
Life ain't over
Not tonight
I still got the fire
I have loved and
I have lost some
I have cried behind closed doors
I have watched a dream go missing then
I built myself some more
Every scar became a doorway
Every ending found a floor
I still got the fire, fire fire
Still got the rhythm taking me higher
Life ain't over
Not tonight
I still got the fire, fire fire
For the moment, turn the lights up
Let the old guitar play
Let the congos shake the windows
Let me dance away the rain
I got sunlight in my heartbeat
I got freedom in my veins
I still got the fire, fire fire
Still got the rhythm taking me higher
Life ain't over
Not tonight
I still got the fire, fire fire
Maybe 20 had its beauty
Maybe 30 had its speed
But the woman in this moment
Knows exactly what she needs
I don't chase another shadow
I don't beg a heart to see
I still got the fire, fire fire
Still got the rhythm taking me higher
Life ain't over
Not tonight
I still got the fire, fire fire
If you love me, love me freely
If you leave me, leave me clean
I have wasted too many evenings
On a face that might have been
Now
I kiss the day that finds me and
I dance into the scene
I still got the fire, fire fire
Still got the rhythm taking higher
Life ain't over over
Not tonight
I still got the fire, fire fire
So if you're waiting for permission
Here's the only truth
I know
Wear the color that you wanted
Take the trip and steal the show
Love somebody, love your own life
Baby turn the music on
I still got the fire, fire fire
Still got the rhythm, taking me higher
Life ain't over
Not tonight
I still got the fire, fire fire
I don't need the perfect body
I don't need a younger face
Give me laughter in the kitchen
Give me music in this place
Give me someone who can hold me
Without trying to change my ways
I still got the fire, fire fire
Still got the rhythm taking me higher
Life ain't over
Not tonight
I still got the fire, fire fire
So, if you're waiting for permission
Here's the only truth
I know
Wear the color that you wanted
Take the trip and steal the show
Love somebody, love your own life
Baby, turn the music on
I still got the fire, fire fire
Still got the rhythm taking me higher
Life ain't over
Not tonight
I still the fire, fire
