Emmylou Harris - Burn That Candle lyrics

[Emmylou Harris - Burn That Candle lyrics]

Keep that candle burning bright, mama
I'll be kind of late tonight, mama
There's a yellow moon above me, mama
Shining 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 strolling side by side


While that candle's shining high, mama
I'll be with my sugar pie, mama
We'll be coming home you know, mama
Looking for that candle glowing, mama



Burn that candle night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strolling side by side


After we have had the wedding, mama
To that candle, we'll be heading, mama
So before we're wining and dining, mama
Keep that candle light a-shining, mama


Burn that candle night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strolling side by side

Burn that candle night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strolling side by side
