Next to the Candlelight

(Verse 1)

I wake up from my dreaming,
With one thing on my mind
That one day you would be next to me,
Sitting next to the candlelight

Running through the stormy rain,
I see your face smiling back at me
I wrote you a letter yesterday
Please take the time to read it

(Chorus)

Next to the candlelight,
We will toast our love forever
Next to the candlelight,
In my arms is where you belong

So many things will be remembered,
And so many slip away
The glow in your eyes will never fade away
Baby next to the candlelight

(Verse 2)

I pick a flower from the garden,
As I walk onto the shore
Memories of the sunset,
Bring smiles more and more

No need to hurry lets take it slow
Baby you'll see that my love will grow
Days get colder as I realize
Seasons just pass me by

Next to the candlelight,
We will toast our love forever
Next to the candlelight,
In my arms is where you belong

I'll give you my mind, my heart, and soul,
To show you just how much I care
And in an instant you know that I'll be there
Baby next to the candlelight

(Bridge)

Love can be so confusing
How can I truly know?
You've given me so much
It'll take me forever to ever let you go

So many things will be remembered,
And so many slip away
The glow in your eyes will never fade away
Baby next to the candlelight
