You Are My Candlelight

Empty canvas of a room
Dark and bleak
A cloudy night without stars or moon
Enter in pretty girl
Her beautiful smile
Brightens the world 
And I’m drawn to her eyes
Emeralds with a fire inside
Beckoning for me
To come and see
All that she wants to see in me

Hey girl
You sure do light up this world
I find myself living in
I want to feel your warmth, your skin
Taste of your lips again
Hold you in the midst of night
My candlelight

All goes dark and cold once more
If you leave through the door
and separate our hearts and souls
like they’re not meant to be
In you I find inner-peace
And the strength to be
All that you want in me
All that I want to be

Hey girl
You sure do light up this world
I find myself living in
I want to feel your warmth, your skin
Taste of your lips again
Hold you in the midst of night
My candlelight

Won’t you come back inside?
Back into my arms?
Will you be my guiding light once more?
You light up this world
I find myself living in
I want to feel your warmth, your skin
Taste of your lips again
Hold you in the midst of night
You are my candlelight
You are my candlelight
In the darkest of night
You are my candlelight
