Quietly light fades and dark intrudes upon my day

Memories haunt the night and chase the sun away

I light the candles on the table set to dine

Flame dances merrily reflecting rainbows on the wine

it bounces light out to the corners of the room

that keeps at bay the darkening sorrows of my gloom

I set soft music playing just our song

it plays I hum, the tune goes on and on

I wait each night for you in candles glow

but the shadows and the candles they all know

that you have to be alive to reappear

and I wait til candles burn to shed my tear
