It’s just another one of those candle-lit nights
From the outside looking in, everything’s all right
And while everything might be, still isn’t the same
For your rose petal ear is not here to hear me whisper your name

The walkway and porch-light miss your sight
In everyone of my empty-bed candle-lit nights
I long for you hoping your coat misses the back of my chair
How both of my pillows tell me they’re missing your hair

And the walls and the windows, the sheets and the shades
Keep asking and asking and so is the flame
I have to tell them everything’s all right
And that I miss you too in these candle-lit nights

The jazz music plays with country lines in my head
And I find it sour to sleep without you in my bed
But it’s so sweet to know, keeps me holding on tight
You will be here again one of these candle-lit nights

And then everything will be all right
