Silk, Satin, Carriage Waiting

[Verse 1]
Silk and satin carriage waiting
Stained glass eyes anticipating
What my mind is celebrating
As I watch the colors fade away
I'm thinking 'bout the morning sun
And all the things I should have done
And all the love I could have won
And all the words I would have liked to say

[Chorus]
(Oh) Light a candle for me, mama
(Oh) Make the world a little brighter, yeah
(Oh) Light a candle for me, mama
Don't cry for me

[Verse 2]
All the time was never wasted
Though the wine was never tasted
And when I came face to face
I took my life and placed it in my hands
Someone deep inside of me
The spirit that has guided me
Passions that, in spite of me
I'd like to think I'd do it all again

[Chorus]
(Oh) Light a candle for me, mama
(Oh) Make the world a little brighter, yeah
(Oh) Light a candle for me, mama
(Oh) Make the world a little brighter, yeah
(Oh) Light a candle for me, mama
(Oh) Make the world a little brighter, yeah
(Oh) Light a candle for me, mama
