Burn That Candle

Keep that candle burnin' bright, mama I'll be kind of late tonight, mama There's a yellow moon above me, mama Shinin' on the one I love, mama [Chorus:] Burn that candle, night and day Burn that candle, honey light our way Keep that doorway open wide Until we come slowly strollin' side by side While that candle's shinin' high, mama I'll be with my sugar pie, mama We'll be comin' home you know and mama Lookin' for that candle glowin', mama [Chorus] After we have had the wedding, mama To that candle we'll be headin', mama So before we're winin' and dinin', mama Keep that candle light a-shinin', mama [Chorus x 2] --- Burn That Candle - Emmylou Harris
