Light a candle,

see it glow.

Watch it dance,

when you feel low.

Think of me,

think of light.

I'll always be here,

day or night.

A candle flickers,

out of sight.

But in your heart,

I still burn bright.

Think not of sadness,

that I'm not near.

Think of gladness,

and joyous cheer.

I have not left,

I am not gone.

I'm here to stay

my little one.

So when you light a candle,

and you see it glow,

and you watch it dance,

in your heart you'll know.

That I would never leave you

even when you feel so blue.

I'm sitting up here with the Lord

and now watching over you.
