Do you still burn a candle in the window?
Every night as the memories pass?
Do you still see me in every dream?
And at the bottom of every glass?
Does the flame still burn sharp and bright?
Even when the wind is blowing?
Does it still burn through the night?
Does it last until the morning light?
Do you think of me when you walk the streets?
Even when you dont see my face?
Does your blind desire still remain?
Even though you've lost my trace?
Do you still burn a candle in the window?
As you read my letters?
Will you watch it burn all the way down?
And watch the wax form on the ground?
I can tell you I still do.
And every night is filled with you.
Even when the sky is blue.
The candle burns through and through.
Even though we're many miles apart,
I can still hear your broken heart,
Can you sometimes see the spark?
Of my candle burning in the dark.
Have you forgotten me and my name?
Did you finally put out the flame?
Did you throw your candles in the rain?
Do you stay awake so you cant dream?
I dont know what is true.
But I can tell you I still do.
I burn this candle here for you.
And it will burn my whole life through.
Do you still burn a candle in the window?
After many years the memories passed.
Do you still see me in every dream?
And at the bottom of every glass.
