Keep that candle burnin' bright, 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 And 'till we can 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 Looking for that candle glow, mother
Burn that candle, night and day Burn that candle, light our way Keep that doorway open wide And 'till we can slowin' strollin' side by side
After we have had the wedding, mother To that candle we'll be heading, mother So, before we're whinin' 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 And 'till we can slowin' strollin' side by side And 'till we can slowin' strollin' side by side Till I'm strollin' thru that doorway with my bride
