Candlelighter Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I lie awake and wait for him to arrive
Candle lighter man
He is the one who keeps my heart alive
He’s the candle lighter man
Woman in the city with a man to call my own
I’m never gonna leave home
I’m never gonna leave home
I’m feelin’ happy nearly every night
He’s the candle lighter man
I’m feelin’ good, now I’m feelin’ right
He’s the candle lighter man
Woman in the city with a man to call my own
I’m never gonna leave home
I’m never gonna leave home
When he is away
I just burn the candle through the day
Read the funnies and make the bed
Light a number
And there is one thing that you oughta’ know
He is the candle lighter man
Just keep on loving and your light will grow
He is the candle lighter man
And he is oh, so voh-dee-oh-doh
Never leads my heart about
When he says 'ohhhhh, blow the candles out'
Woman, I’m a woman
In the city with a man to call my own
I’m never gonna leave home
I’m never gonna leave home
I’m never gonna leave home
I’m never gonna leave home
