The lyrics vary somewhat from Van Morrison's.
I can't quite make out what he's singing in the last verse. Send me a
note if you can hear it.
[instr. verse] C G/b Am F I'm carryin' a torch for you C G F I'm carryin' a torch C G/b Am F You don't know, you don't know what it's worth C G C To keep carryin' a torch Flame of love it burns so bright That is my desire Keep on liftin' me, liftin' me up Higher and higher
G7 You're the keeper of the flame F C And you burn so bright G7 why don't we, why don't we re-connect F G7 And move up into the light
I've been going to and fro on this and that cause I'm still carryin' a torch You must know, You must know what it's worth To keep carryin' a torch
Baby you're the keeper of the flame And you burn so bright why don't we, why don't we re-connect And move all up into the light
I've been calling you on the phone
Cause I'm carryin' a torch
I can do it all on my own
Keep carryin' a torch
I'm carryin' a torch for you, baby
I'm carryin' a torch
You don't know, you don't know what it's worth
To keep carryin' a torch
I've been carryin', I've been carryin' a torch for you, baby
I keep carryin' a torch
[You don't know, you don't know what it's worth]
F G C
Cause I, I'm carryin' a torch.
