Light The Candle

Verse 1
At the bar I like to frequent, there’s a custom they still do

Placing candles on the tables, for the couples and folks to use

To call the waitress, her name’s Mary, over to them for drinks and beers

They light these candles and Mary comes to them to take their orders and bring good cheer.


Chorus 1 (And, she says....)

Light the candle and I’ll be there to get you all you’ll need tonight

When I see that flame dance and flicker, I’ll know you need me and then it’s alright

Light the candle when you think of me and I’ll suddenly appear

No matter what you’re feeling, light the candle and I’ll be near.


Verse 2
Now, Mary she’s a looker, and I’ve had my eye on her

I know that she’s a good woman, and I know that she’s been hurt

Her man left her for another, I’d like to help her ease the pain

I wish she’d light a candle for me and then I’d tell her in words so plain.


Chorus 2 (Hey, Mary.....)

Bridge
Well, tonight I’m gonna tell her, she’s got to know how she makes me feel

And I’ll light a candle for her, and I’ll give her a candle to light for me.


Chorus 3
