Burning candles

Three red burning candles,
Two glasses of red wine.
She hopes that he remembers
It's already after nine.
Shadows dancing on the table
makes such a lonely sound.
She finds comfort in the light,
and she'll be up all night burning candles down

He never bought red roses
he said faded they will turn
so he bought her pretty candles,
and swore his love would always burn.
But it's hard holding on to someone
you can't put your arms around.
So, she finds comfort in the light
and she'll be up all night burning candles down

Sometimes her tears start falling
like a pouring rain
but she's weathered this storm long enough
to know there's shelter in their love
where even death can't touch the flame

Three red burning candles,
Two glasses of red wine.
Tonight she will remember 1999.
The last time that he kissed her
and whispered my love, I can be found
Somewhere in the light
So she'll be up all night burning candles down.

He's somewhere in the light
so she'll be up all night burning candles down
