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

We strolled the lane together
Laughed at the rain together,
Sang love's refrain together
And we'd both pretend it would never end
But one day we cried together
Cast love aside together
You're gone from me,
But in my memory
We always will be together.
Oh darlin' the memory
Of all the happy moments we shared together
Will always remain in my heart
The picnics at the park,
The boat rides on the lake,
The way we danced all night,
The warmth of your kiss,
The way you held me tight
Are all part of a tender love
I'll never, never forget.
You're gone from me
But in my memory,
Darlin', wherever you are,
We'll always be.... together. |
