Candlelight

To know her is to love her
I'm going undercover
To catch a glimpse, but not get caught
But to see her could be worse
If I dont get my head straight first
On a second thought, I guess I'll nod
She's almost brighter than the sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her,
'Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll be giving it to her
In silence to embrace*
She outshines anyone who ...
Who might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Oh please don't seat us in the back
With all the insects and the trash
She is a lady, I'm the tramp
Collecting stares from pairs goes by
Then floods in the butterflies*
You're just a moth drawn to a lamp
She's like an ancient artefact; something you're lucky to have found
She'll pinch the nerves in all the necks
When she turns those heads around
Those heads, those heads
Can't hold a candle to her,
'Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll be giving it to her
In silence to embrace*
She outshines anyone who ...
Who might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Who may dare to bask in the same candlelight
She's almost brighter than the sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her,
'Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll be giving it to her
In silence to embrace*
She outshines anyone who ...
Who might dare to bask in the same candlelight
In the same candlelight
