1. Are you burning, little candle?
|
High upon the Christmas tree
|
Symbol of a new beginning
|
Faith and hope and sweet release
|
|
(chorus A)
|
remind us
|
Of the children's faces
|
full of wonder and surprise
|
Of the laughter in their voices,
|
the sweetness in their eyes
|
When they wake up in the morning
|
with the feeling in their heart
|
That there's joy in the air
|
and they know that they're a part
|
|
Shine your light on me
|
|
2. Are you shining, little star?
|
Shining in the skies above
|
Lift us up into the heavens
|
Symbol of the light of love
|
|
3. Are you spinning, little dreidel?
|
Spinning tales of long ago
|
Spinning past the little cradle
|
Tell us what we used to know
|
|
(chorus B)
|
remind us
|
Of the children's faces
|
with their looks of wonder
|
Of the ancient old hands
|
and wisdom of their touch
|
Of the worried brows that clear
|
with the surprise of laughter
|
Of the troubled hearts that lift
|
with joy at the touch of love
|
|
Shine your light on me, little Star
|
|
4. Are you watching, little angel?
|
High above the Christmas tree
|
Angels all around the world
|
Hear us as we pray for peace
|
|
(chorus A)
|
remind us
|
Of the children's faces
|
full of wonder and surprise
|
Of the laughter in their voices,
|
the sweetness in their eyes
|
When they wake up in the morning
|
with the feeling in their heart
|
That there's joy in the air
|
and they know that they're a part
|
|
5. Are you listening, little pine tree?
|
Silent midst the glistening snow
|
Symbol of the forest stillness
|
Deepest joy that man can know
|
|
6. Are you singing, little children?
|
Singing loud and strong and clear
|
Singing all around the world
|
Sing it loud so we can hear
|
|
(chorus B)
|
remind us
|
Of the children's faces
|
with their looks of wonder
|
Of the ancient old hands
|
and wisdom of their touch
|
Of the worried brows that clear
|
with the surprise of laughter
|
Of the troubled hearts that lift
|
with joy at the touch of love
|
|
Shine your light
|
Shine your light
|
Shine your light on me
|
|
Little Candle
|
Little Star
|
Little Angel
|
Little Children
|
Shine your light on me
|
