Candles in the Sky
Language: English
Twilight end of the day, Here I am beside you. Heaven's not far away, Take my hand I'll guide you. Candles in the sky Gleam as we go by Lighting up our way it seems. Walking down a moonbeam This is wonderland All the night is filled with golden dreams. Candles in the sky Tell us "time will fly" Get your kisses while you may. Love is like a gypsy Singing in the dark Dawn may find him far away. If a magic gift were mine Here's what I would do: I would make the stars that shine Spell out "I love you". Candles in the sky Have to say goodbye When the lovely night is through. When the dawn has taken Candles in the sky Darling will I still have you.
