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, mamaBurn that candle night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by sideWhile that candle's shinin' high, mama
I'll be with my sugar pie, mama
We'll be comin' home you know, mama
Lookin' for that candle glowin', mamaBurn that candle night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by sideAfter we have had the wedding, mama
To that candle we'll be headin', mama
So before we're runnin', dinin', mama
Keep that candle light a-shinin', mamaBurn that candle night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by sideBurn 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
