In this time of war, when loved ones are separated, many will relate to this song of a one burning a candle in the window, waiting for a distant love to return home. The insanity of it all. One world, one universe, one people...

Candle in the Window



Candle in the window pane

Light is burning through the rain

Flame will burn for you

Through the rain

And through the pain



I’ll wait for you my true love

Though life draws us apart

Though miles lay between us

Your smile is in my heart

Long are the nights

Without you here within my arms

Memories keep us warm.



I know you’ll wait for me

And you know I’ll wait for you

A candle shining through

I’ll wait for you

I’ll wait for you



I’ll wait for you my true love

Though life draws us apart

A candle in my window

Until my love returns

I’ll be right here

Waiting for your sweet return

For you my heart yearns



A candle in the window pane

Through the sun, through the rain

Love’s journey long

Even with the pain

Our love remains

Like a candle

A candle in the window pane

Waiting here for you

Candle in the rain.
