Burn That Candle

[Verse 1]
Keep that candle burnin' bright, mother
I'll be kinda late tonight, mother
There's a yellow moon above, mother
Shinin' on the one I love, mother

[Chorus]
Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side

[Verse 2]
While that candle's burnin' high, mother
I'll be with my sugar pie, mother
We'll be comin home you know, mother
Lookin for that candle glow, mother

[Chorus]
Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
After we have had the wedding, mother
To that candle we'll be heading, mother
So before we're winin', dinin', mother
Start that candle, light a shinin', mother

[Chorus]
Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side

[Outro]
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
Till I'm strollin' through that doorway with my bride
