Light a Candle in the Chapel - Ibrahim Maalouf

Light a candle in the chapel At the closing of each day Keep it burning while you're yearning For the one who went away Say a prayer and ask the angel To guide and to watch from above Light a candle in the chapel For the one you love Say a prayer and ask the angel To guide and to watch from above Light a candle in the chapel For the one you love

There's a road that I remember leading to a special place Where the door was always open to a smiling face There's a picture on the mantle of a boy who looks like me And it's always the same, there's a stocking with my name And a candle in the window, a flame against the night There's a candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light Now it don't take a lot of money, oh, to know what riches are Just a candle in the window Oh, and Christmas in your heart, in your heart Maybe it's just wishful thinking I can hear the sleigh bells ring Almost taste the pie mama's baking It's Christmas Eve There's a candle in the window There's a flame against the night There's a candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light Now it don't take lots of money, hmm, to know what riches are Just a candle in the window and Christmas in your heart Wherever the years may take me, no matter how far I go There's gonna be a candle burning It's always nice to know That it don't take a lot of money, oh, to know what riches are A simple candle in the window Oh, and Christmas in your heart In your heart, your heart Just a candle in the window Just a candle in the window

Light a roman candle with me Just a roman candle You can wear your sandals and I'll pour you just one cup of tea Then you can go and rest You haven't seen my best, so Just spend an evening with me Just a lazy evening Then you could be leaving or we could stay and talk until three I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so Light a roman candle with me Just a roman candle Just a perfect apple Light a roman candle with me Just a roman candle Just a perfect apple If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together A sandwich with everything on it At least we would know that the sparks didn't glow But we owe it to ourselves to try So we aim and ignite So often I call and I plead with you: "Give me a chance!" It's not that often that I understand The ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right So don't think of tomorrow night Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone You look for a legend I'm looking for common ground Your heart isn't breaking And mine isn't making a sound Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old Light a roman candle with me Just a roman candle Just a perfect apple

What'd you forget? Got a light? I know you, you're- You're shivering It's nothing, they turned off my heat And I'm just a little weak on my feet Would you light my candle? What are you staring at? Nothing Your hair in the moonlight You look familiar Can you make it? Just haven't eaten much today At least the room stopped spinning, anyway What? Nothing Your smile reminded me of- I always remind people of Who is she? She died Her name was April It's out again Sorry 'bout your friend Would you light my candle? Well Yeah? Ow! Oh, the wax It's- Dripping! I like it between my- Fingers! I figured Oh, well Goodnight It blew out again? No, I think that I dropped my stash I know I've seen you out and about When I used to go out Your candle's out I'm illin' I had it when I walked in the door It was pure Is it on the floor? The floor? They say that I have the best ass below 14th Street Is it true? What? You're staring again Oh, no I mean, you do have a nice- I mean- You look familiar Like your dead girlfriend? Only when you smile, but I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club? That's where I work, I dance Yes! They used to tie you up It's a living I didn't recognize you without the handcuffs We could light the candle Oh, won't you light the candle? Why don't you forget that stuff? You look like you're sixteen I'm nineteen But I'm old for my age I'm just born to be bad I once was born to be bad I used to shiver like that I have no heat, I told you I used to sweat I got a cold Uh-huh I used to be a junkie But now and then I like to Uh huh Feel good Oh, here! What's that? Oh, it's a candy bar wrapper We could light the candle Oh, what'd you do with my candle? That was my last match Our eyes'll adjust, thank God for the moon Maybe it's not the moon at all I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street Bah humbug Bah humbug Cold hands Yours too Big Like my father's Do you wanna dance? With you? No With my father I'm Roger They call me They call me Mimi

How I'd love to hear the organ In the chapel in the moonlight While we're strolling down the aisle Where roses entwine How I'd love to hear you whisper In the chapel in the moonlight That the lovelight in your eyes Forever will shine Till the roses turn to ashes Till the organ turns to rust If you never come I'll still be there Till the moonlight turns to dust How I'd love to hear the choir In the chapel in the moonlight As they sing "Oh Promise Me" Forever be mine
