Burning Candles

Three red burning candles,

Two glasses of red wine.

She hopes that he remembers

It's already after nine.

Shadows dancing on the table

makes such a lonely sound.

She finds comfort in the light,

and she'll be up all night burning candles down

He never bought red roses

he said faded they will turn

so he bought her pretty candles,

and swore his love would always burn.

But it's hard holding on to someone

you can't put your arms around.

So, she finds comfort in the light

and she'll be up all night burning candles down

Sometimes her tears start falling

like a pouring rain

but she's weathered this storm long enough

to know there's shelter in their love

where even death can't touch the flame

Three red burning candles,

Two glasses of red wine.

Tonight she will remember 1999.

The last time that he kissed her

and whispered my love, I can be found

Somewhere in the light

So she'll be up all night burning candles down.

He's somewhere in the light

so she'll be up all night burning candles down
