CANDLELIGHT

 

Across the distant lonely miles

There stands my love

With comrade’s brave

Who stands beneath a Christmas sky

Singing carols just as I

Familiar carols

And sentiments we share.

Of course, it’s Christmas,

That makes me wish you near

And makes me wipe away a tear

I pray to God to keep you safe

To wrap you in his loving light

Now the bells of Christmas fill the air

And I think of my love standing there

Underneath the Christmas sky.

In the church I keep a candle lit

That will burn while we’re apart

And my undying love for him

Will keep burning in my heart
