Keep that candle burnin' birght, mother
|
I'll be kinda late tonight, mother
|
There's a yellow moon above, mother
|
Shinin' on the one I love, mother
|
|
Burn that candle, night and day
|
Burn that candle, light our way
|
Keep that doorway open wide
|
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
|
|
While that candle's burnin' high, mother
|
I'll be with my sugar pie, mother
|
We'll be comin' home you know, mother
|
Lookin' for that candle glow, mother
|
|
Burn that candle, night and day
|
Burn that candle, light our way
|
Keep that doorway open wide
|
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
After we have had the wedding, mother
|
To that candle we'll be headin, mother
|
So, before we're winin', dinin', mother
|
Start that candle light a shinin', mother
|
|
Burn that candle, night and day
|
Burn that candle, light our way
|
Keep that doorway open wide
|
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
|
|
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
|
'Til I'm strollin' through that doorway with my bride
|
