| Keep that candle burnin’bright, mama
|
| I’ll be kind of late tonight, mama
|
| There’s a yellow moon above me, mama
|
| Shinin’on the one I love, mama
|
| Burn that candle, night and day
|
| Burn that candle, honey, light our way
|
| Keep that doorway open wide
|
| Until we come slowly strollin’side by side
|
| While that candle’s shinin’high, mama
|
| I’ll be with my sugar pie, mama
|
| We’ll be comin’home you know and mama
|
| Lookin’for that candle glowin', mama
|
| After we have had the wedding, mama
|
| To that candle we’ll be headin', mama
|
| So before we’re winin’and dinin', mama
|
| Keep that candle light a-shinin', mama |
