OH, CHRISTMAS CANDLE (Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver)

VERSE 1: OH CHRISTMAS CANDLE PLEASE LIGHT UP THE WAY
BACK TO MY MEMORIES OF YESTERDAY
ICICLES HANGING ON EVERGREEN TREES
BUTTERY SNOWFLAKES THAT FELL ON MY CHEEKS

CHORUS: MAMA'S SWEET SINGING AND DADDY'S BIG HANDS
AND CHRISTMAS ALL OVER THE LAND

VERSE 2: OH CHRISTMAS CANDLE PLEASE LIGHT UP THE WAY
TO WHEN I WOULD RIDE ON A SMALL WOODEN SLEIGH
RIDING ON SNOW JUST AS PURE AS THE HEART
OF SWEET BABY JESUS IN HIS MOTHER'S ARMS

CHORUS: STARLIGHT THAT GLISTENED ON SNOW COVERED HILLS
WHEN CHRISTMAS WAS HOLY AND STILL

VERSE 3: OH, CHRISTMAS CANDLE PLEASE LIGHT UP THE WAY
INTO THE PAST AND THE INNOCENT DAYS
WHEN WE WERE JUST CHILDREN WITH HEARTS FULL OF TRUST
AND WE THOUGHT THAT CHRISTMAS WAS ALL ABOUT US

CHORUS: THERE BY THE FIRESIDE WITH SWEET SMELLING WOOD
WE MADE A PROMISE THAT WE WOULD BE GOOD

VERSE 4: OH, CHRISTMAS CANDLE PLEASE LIGHT UP THE WAY
I WANT TO GO BACK THERE FOR ONE CHRISTMAS DAY
BE WITH MY LOVED ONES AND BREATHE IN THE AIR
I LIGHT THIS CANDLE AND SEND UP THIS PRAYER

TAG: OH, CHRISTMAS CANDLE PLEASE LIGHT UP THE WAY
