Candles

Late at night when the world is fast asleep
I hold you in my arms and feel you breathing
And I thank my lucky stars I got everything a man could want and more
Until the candles burn away
I will hold you tight
Until we see the light of day
Until the candles burn away
I'll be needing you
Just touching you always makes me feel complete
Life without you just doesn't excite
We've been through so much
Good times and the rough
Times when we felt tender but not tough
Until the candles burn away
I will hold you tight
Until we see the light of day
Until the candles burn away
I'll be needing you
Sometimes I think the grass is greener
Sometimes I might wander just a little
When I'm bound to think about it
I heard that voice inside me saying
You are all that I've ever wanted
You are all that I've ever needed
My love for you after being so far away
So many nights my best friend told me
Living like we do
Only drives us closer to
Making it all work out like lover's will
Until the candles burn away
I will hold you tight
Until we see the light of day
Until the candles burn away
I'll be needing you
Until the candles burn away
I will hold you tight
Until we see the light of day
