If You Were a Candle

If you were a candle And the wind came and tried to blow you out. I'd change its direction. And if the rain came And tried to snuff your light I would change it back into mist. When waxy tears run down your precious face I will gather them up and make you whole again. You are my eternal flame And I will keep you lit forever.
