I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire These Foolish Things ("The scent of smould'ring leaves" -- 3rd verse) Fire ("'Cause when we kiss, oooh,") Fire on the Mountain (Grateful Dead) Burning Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash) Drill Ye Tarriers, Drill ("Drill! and blast! and fire!) Old Devil Moon ("Stars in the night blazing their light Can't hold a candle to your razzle dazzle) You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To ("You'd be so nice by the fire", Cole Porter) Lover ("Softly in my ear you breathe a flame"-- I *love* the Peggy Lee version of this!)
The following are alphabetical from "The Sheet Music Reference & Price Guide", and I can only guess that many of them mention fire or flame. Let me know if you want specific details like composer/lyricist: The Blacksmith Blues Blaze Away Blaze of Glory Blaze of Honor Blue Flame The Burning of Rome Burning Sands By Candle Light (Cole Porter) By the Campfire A Candle in the Window Candlelight Chinese Firecrackers (Irving Berlin) Christmas Candle The Christmas Song ("Chestnuts roasting o'er an open fire") Cigarette Come On Spark Plug (1923) Fire and Rain (James Taylor) Fireflies Fires of Faith Hello Ma Baby ("Give me a kiss by wire, Oh baby my heart's on fire") I'm Playing With Fire (Irving Berlin) In the Candle-Light Keep the Home Fires Burning Keep the Love Lamp Burning Keep the Trench Fires Going for the Boys Out There Kiss of Fire (Lester Allen & Robert Hill) The Lamplighter's Serenade (Paul Francis Webster & Hoagy Carmichael) Lantern of Love Let's Make Love by the Fireside Light a Candle in the Chapel Love is Like a Firefly The Moth and the Flame (1898) Old Fireplace The Old Lamp-Lighter One Little Candle Say It With Firecrackers (Irving Berlin again) Smoke Dreams Smoke From a Chimney Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Smoke Rings Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! That Cigarette (Merle Travis & Tex Williams) Song of The Flame (Gershwin, prob. piano music?) Swamp-Fire There's a Little Spark of Love Still Burning The Torch Song While a Cigarette Was Burning Winter Wonderland ("Later on we'll conspire...") You've Built a Fire Down In My Heart (Irving Berlin)
Whew, hope I didn't extrapolate *too* far!
