Keep that candle burnin' birght, mother I'll be kinda late tonight, mother There's a yellow moon above, mother Shinin' on the one I love, mother
Burn that candle, night and day Burn that candle, light our way Keep that doorway open wide Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
While that candle's burnin' high, mother I'll be with my sugar pie, mother We'll be comin' home you know, mother Lookin' for that candle glow, mother
Burn that candle, night and day Burn that candle, light our way Keep that doorway open wide Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
[Instrumental Interlude]
After we have had the wedding, mother To that candle we'll be headin, mother So, before we're winin', dinin', mother Start that candle light a shinin', mother
Burn that candle, night and day Burn that candle, light our way Keep that doorway open wide Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side 'Til I'm strollin' through that doorway with my bride
