Oh candle, your light burns so bright

Won't you come and sit with me tonight

Your flames dance and flicker with a warm glow

To remind me that I am home

Your sweet aroma fills me with spirit

Though the holidays are far off in the distance

Oh candle, how your little flame stands so tall

Though you be very small

But when it grows dark

And turns into the black pits of night

Their you will remain glowing ever bright

And when your time is done,

Your smoky tendrils will waft away

Before the first rays of

The early morning sun

I shall weep for the loss of

The one I shall see no more

For you are gone, my friend

Forever and forevermore
