Jones, Tom - Carrying A Torch Lyrics






I'm carrying a torch for you
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it costs
To keep carrying a torch

Flame of love it burns so bright
That is my desire
Keep on liftin' me, liftin' me up
Higher and higher

You're the keeper of the flame
Girl, you burn so bright
Baby, why don't we reconnect?
Move into the light

I've been going to and fro on this
And I'm still carrying a torch
You must know how much it's worth
But I'm carrying a torch

Baby, you're the keeper of the flame
And you burn so bright
Why, why, why, why, why, why
Why don't we reconnect
And move on further into the light?

I've been calling you on the phone
'Cause I'm carrying a torch
I can't do it all on my own
'Cause I'm carrying a torch

I'm carrying a torch for you, baby
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it's worth
Because I'm carrying a torch

I'm carrying a torch for you, baby
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it's worth
When I'm carrying a torch

I'm carrying a torch for you, baby
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it's worth
When I'm carrying a torch

Jones, Tom Carrying A Torch Comments
  1. R.... L....

    Two legends...doesn't get better than that! 👌🎧💗💗

  2. S.... ....

    Just gorgeous Van and Tom. yea.

  3. V.... L....

    Imagine having the great Van Morrison as one of your biggest fans?
    Yep, it is true with Tom Jones. Van is his fan. Look as happy Van seems to be. He looks even proud. Jones', voice is absolute perfect to this beautiful song, even covered by Bob Dylan once or twice in concert.

  4. D.... H....

    See that many comments are re Van's obvious good mood. The fact is Van Morrison is always happy to stand back and let others shine. I've seen him do this ( stand back ) many times in concert with his band.

  5. I.... ....

    And some people say that there is no God.

  6. A.... F....

    tom Jones needed decent singing lessons for years van the man to do it.

  7. A.... A....

    who is the female backing vocalist? .. i liked her smile!

    Katie Kassoon is so-o beautiful! How can Tom and Van concentrate on anything else? lol. I love this song!!!

  9. t.... ....

    Obviously Tom makes everybody smile and feel good.

    t.... ....

    It's because Tom is "universal"...

  10. B.... M....

    Wow Katie Kassoon is beautiful! Looks like she was an inspiration to Tom and Van, the way they are smiling!!! lol

  11. T.... F....

  30. D.... B....

    That was excellent! Tom and Van Morrison did a great job! I would have loved to have heard Elvis do this song! That would have been awesome!

  31. j.... s....

    Wow!! It's only as I got older that I realize how fantastic Tom Jones is. What a wonderful combination Tom and Van is!

    j.... s....

    IKR. I'm so late to the party. I'm almost 70. My musical era was the late 60's' - early 70's - Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, Aretha, Stevie Wonder, Linda Ronstadt, The Band, Van Morrison, etc. I was only vaguely aware of a singer named Tom Jones until I recently watched some videos of him letting loose on The Voice UK. How did I not know about his greatness?

  32. J.... L....

    Äntligen !

  33. r.... f....

    Pure joy new to me so many thanks loved it

  34. N.... A....

    me emocionan totalmente...gracias por tanta musica, buena subida Mr

  35. S.... P....

    Van and a great Welsh singer

  36. C.... S....

    I just subscribed but no commercial breaks are nice.

  37. A.... T....

    Both motivational and inspiring a sensational colabaration

  38. A.... T....

    Both motivational and inspiring a sensational colabaration

  39. B.... t....

    Vans own version way better Tom is the performer but Van has true soul and feel when he sings.

  40. L.... M....

    I swear that Katie Kissoon is both blushing and swooning at/with TJ here !!

  41. n.... ....

    Great voice, great musicians, saw Van Morrison in Liverpool last year was brilliant. Am sure that's the drummer out of Wet Wet Wet

    n.... ....

    I think that's Dave Early (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Early), who died ) October 1996. If so, he performed in Van's VHS 'The Concert' from Beacon Theater.

  42. J.... I....

    beautiful song and sing

  43. R.... T....

    Who is the backing vocalist with the great smile and the great voice?

    R.... T....

    Rich Terrana Katie Kisson

    R.... T....

    She's great!

    R.... T....

    And what a smile!

    R.... T....

    Thanks!

    R.... T....

    KATIE KISSOON Very Beautiful woman.

  44. B.... ....

    I thought Van Morrison had had his smile muscles removed in the late 1960's. I was clearly mistaken.

    B.... ....

    ha ha...you should see him in duet w Tom, I'm Not Feeling it Anymore..he was almost laughing...it was worth it just to see Van enjoy himself...he's a man who loves with music and he is having fun!

    B.... ....

    for sure--seeing the man have fun & laugh!!

    B.... ....

    have a close look at his songs and lyrics
    "you might call my love 'Sophia'
    but I call my love 'pilosophy'
    would not be possible without very much smile muscles !!!!!!!!!!!

  45. J.... B....

    WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    From a 72yo Aussie fan.

  46. J.... R....

    A beautiful version of this song

  47. M.... ....

    good song, wrong fella singing !

  48. P.... B....

    he is smiling and tom too , and the girl...because carrying a torch is just a metaphor for erection! that 's it, freudian explanation

    P.... B....

  49. J.... F....

  57. V.... C....

    Fantastica! Grazie, tesoro!

  58. F.... J....

    The best male pop singer, he has done all kinds of songs and rythm's through out his long lasting career and is second to none. His friend Elvis was the greatest fan of all; it says all there is to be said. Now Tom Jones IS the nr. 1 of the greatest still alive.

    F.... J....

    Tom jones' voice when singing is unique. It is powerful and manly. Te BEST pop singer ever. His performances are second to none. When he sings a song he gets the best of It.

  59. S.... P....

    I think the backing singer is Katie Kasoon. A greta version !

    E.... ....

    Didnt she sing with a male singer called Matt back in the day.I think they had a few hits in the 70's.

    E.... ....

    +Jane McGrath Mac and Katie Kissoon.Sugar Candy kisses.
