Keep that candle burnin' bright, mama
|
I'll be kind of late tonight, mama
|
There's a yellow moon above me, mama
|
Shinin' on the one I love, mama
|
Burn that candle
|
Night and day
|
Burn that candle
|
Honey light our way
|
Keep that doorway open wide
|
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
|
While that candle's shinin' high, mama
|
I'll be with my sugar pie, mama
|
|
We'll be comin' home you know and mama
|
Lookin' for that candle glowin', mama
|
After we have had the wedding, mama
|
To that candle we'll be headin', mama
|
So before we're winin' and dinin', mama
|
Keep that candle light a-shinin', mama
|
|

Burn That Candle
