The Candle
Music by Michael Fogarty
Lyrics by Suzy Rudow, Michael Fogarty..
Sung by Aimee Koch.
(Amsus4-Fmaj7-Csus2-G Amsus4-Fmaj7-Csus2)
Verse 1
Did you(Gsus2)know the path is(C)cloudy?
Did you(Am7)see I’d lost my(F)way?
Did you(G)feel my heart was(Am)empty?
Did you(Csus2)hear my spirit(G)pray?
Did you(Am7)know my(Gsus2/B)world is(C)dying?
Did you(Am)see my aching(F)need?
Did you(Bb6)feel my heart was(Am)crying?
Did you(F/G)hear my spirit breathe?
Chorus 1
To keep the(C)candles burning(G)for me. Maybe(Am)now, or on the day
When the(Bb)journey gets too(F)long, when I(C)am too weak to(G)pray;
Keep the(Am)candles burning(C)for me, I will(Am)see them and be(F)strong,
(C/E-Dm7)And they will(C/E)guide me(F/G)home to You.
(Amsus4-Fmaj7-Csus2-G Amsus4-Fmaj7-Csus2)
Verse 2
You must(G)know the endless(C)yearning; You must(Am)love me, for I(F)see
Countless(G)beacons bravely(Am)burning,
Stars that(C)say that You’re with(G)me.
So(C/E)I’ll(Am)walk in(Gsus2/B)to the(C)darkness
Guided(Am)by the angels’(F)song,
And the(Bb6)Morning Star will(Am)find us(F/G)waltzing in the dawn.
Repeat Chorus
(C)
Bridge
(Bb)Is that a voice I hear inside, urging(Am7sus4)me to carry on?
(Bb)Is that Your heart I hear beside me, beating(Csus2)out, “You’re not alone”?
‘Cause when I’m(Am7)feeling cold and(Em7)lonely,
I look(Am7)up and there’s a(Fsus2)sign
(C/E)That I’m(Dm7)not the one and(C/E)only(F/G)here tonight.
Verse 3
Keep our(C)trust. Watch with the angels guarding(Am7)o’er the stars tonight;
Keep the(G)solemn midnight(Am)vigil,
Hold me(C)close with all Your(G)might.
For I’ll(Am)be home(Gsus2/B)in the(C)morning,
If I(Am)walk by candle(F)light;
I am(Bb)not the one and(F)only here to(Asus4)night.
Chorus 2
Keep the(D)candles burning(A)for me. Maybe(Bm)now, or on the day
When the(C)journey gets too(G)long, when I(D)am too weak to(A)pray.
Keep the(Bm)candles burning(D)for me, I will(Bm)see them and be(G)strong,
(D/F#-Em7)And they will(D/F#)guide me(G/A)home to You.
(A/D)(Keep the candles burning,(A/B)burning,(Bm7)yeah)
(Em7)Guide Me home.(G/A)
(Gotta(A/D)keep the candles burning,(A/B)burning,(Bm7)yeah,
(Em7)Guide Me home.(G/A))
(Gotta(A/D)keep the candles burning,(A/B)burning,(Bm7)yeah,
(Em7)Guide Me home.(G/A)) (Gotta(A/D)keep the candles burn(D)ing!)
