You're my candle in a darkened house
You say relax, I'll lead the way
Up the staircase in this darkened house
Out through the window we're away

I've waited a lifetime these night wings to fly
The lights of the city below
Too cold in the dark was my lonely goodbye
But now there's a new light I know

And you keep burning, burning bright
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)
You keep burning, burning bright
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)
You keep burning, burning bright
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)
You keep burning, burning bright
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)

You're my candle flying ten miles high
You take my hand and lead the way
Your smile of wonder cuts across the sky
And all the darkness fades away

I've waited a lifetime these night wings to fly
We light up the city below
Too cold in the dark was my lonely goodbye
But now there's a new light I know

And you keep burning, burning bright
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)
You keep burning, burning bright
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)
You keep burning, burning bright
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)
You keep burning, burning bright
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)

And you keep burning, burning bright
(You're my candle in this darkened house)
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)
You keep burning, burning bright
(You say relax, I'll lead the way)
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)
You keep burning, burning bright
(Up the staircase in this darkened house)
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)
You keep burning, burning bright
(Out through the window we're away)
(Forever and ever and ever and ever)
You're my candle in a darkened house
