The Candle Still Burns
Story
This is the third in a series of songs (the second is Lovelight Night) written long ago, all centering around the imagery of love as candlelight.
Lyrics
From once upon a time to coming home again
The strength of our attachment has grown
From innocent students to grown woman and man
Time gave wings to our love and it has flown
The candle still burns
It's lovelight endures
I feel it in my heartbeat and see it in the sky
I've never cursed the darkness
For true love's light is brightest
I'm living for the glory in your eyes
The dreams that we share have helped us prepare
For times when they're in our sight
Once more into the breach, keeping memories in reach
Stand up straight; be my friend; take to flight.
The candle still burns
It's lovelight endures
I see in it all wisdom and all my keys to life
And as I live and learn
The feeling is warm
To the deepest corners of my mind
The heartlight will glow brightly as you go
My strength comes from the love you've shown
If I may be a giant, let it be to lift you high
I am here; you will never walk alone
The candle still burns
It's lovelight endures
It lingers in horizons of the sky
I've never cursed the darkness
For true love's light is brightest
I'm living for the glory in your eyes
