"The Common Cold" lyrics - GARY PUCKETT AND THE UNION GAP

You gave me a thrill
Lighting a fire in my soul
Now, I feel a chill deep inside
For you took back the warmth of your love
And left me cold

And as I remember
The last burning ember
I just can't believe it has died

My arms are shaking for you they are aching to hold
I can't endure it please come back and cure this common cold

While wrapped up in dreams I live with you in warm memories
Lost in a tiny capsule of time
And then I feel the sun waking me up
And making me freeze
As time slowly passes
Alone in the ashes
Without you to clear up my mind

My arms are shaking for you they are aching to hold
I can't endure it please come back and cure this common cold

And as I remember
The last burning ember
I just can't believe it has died

My arms are shaking for you they are aching to hold
I can't endure it please come back and cure this common cold
