Roman Candles

Roman candles light up the midnight sky
I hear the bells of St. Matthew's ringing
A mariachi band goes walking by
And in the black night, the birds are singing

They sing a song of sweetness
They sing a song of joy
And then they take wing and they fly off together

Without a word between us
Without a word we knew
Without a word, we knew there's love between us

Hand in hand, we walk
Heart to heart, we talk
We will talk about things we did today
And then talk about things we will do some other day

And then we'll say goodnight, but right now let's kiss
I'm glad you're a girl

You light up the night like a roman candle
