Carrying A Torch - Bernadette Peters

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
