G
Oh Christmas candle please light up the way
D7 G
Back to my memories of yesterday
Icicles hanging on evergreen trees
D7 G
Buttery snowflakes that fell on my cheeks
C G
Momma's sweet singing and daddy's big hands
D7 G
And Christmas all over the land
Oh Christmas candle please light up the way
D7 G
To when I would ride on a small wooden sleigh
Riding on snow just as pure as the heart
D7 G
Of sweet baby Jesus in His mother's arms
C G
Starlight that glistened on snow covered hills
D7 G
When Christmas was holy and still
Oh Christmas candle please light up the way
D7 G
Into the past and the innocent days
When we were just children with hearts full of trust
D7 G
And we thought that Christmas was all about us
C G
There by the fireside with sweet smelling wood
D7 G
We made a promise that we would be good
Oh Christmas candle please light up the way
D7 G
I want to go back there for one Christmas day
Be with my loved ones and breathe in the air
D7 G
I light this candle and send up this prayer
C G
Starlight that glistened on snow covered hills
D7 G
When Christmas was holy and still
