Candlesong
Once every Christmas I take some time
Time on my own where I can gather my thoughts
and try to think of people I once knew
This year I’ll light a candle just for you
I never thought life could hurt so bad
The moment you said goodbye
Oh, how I wish I could’ve had
more time to share my world with you
Hope you are missing me, too (missing me, too)
This year I’ll light a candle just for you
The light (shine the light and it will bring)
brings you back to me tonight
(The) memories of you and I
live within my mind (memories within my mind)
Not so hard to find
All the love you left behind
There are some things I would like you to know
Things I have done and things I learned that have made me grow
and dreams I hope someday’ll come true
This year I’ll light a candle just for you
I’m lighting a light in my heart
Thinking of you and the things that we used to do
‘Cause the light (shine the light and it will bring)
brings you back to me tonight
(The) memories of you and I
Live within my mind (memories within my mind)
Not so hard to find
All the love you left behind
Once every Christmas I say goodbye
I tuck you in and let the memories fly
and I’ll see you again and when I do
Then I will light a candle just for you
This year my light was shining just for you
