You are my candle
You light when I light you
Your haunting silhouette somehow still gives me comfort as I fall asleep
I dont go to sleep with dry eyes, as I lay there I weep

Once upon a time in a land so far away, your flame used to give me insight when you were once strong and bright
It burns me to watch your wax quickly drip down
I fear what my life will be when you're no longer around
I don't even think that I could survive
Hand to heart, that'll be the fight of my life
How will I light you when all I have is a wick
I sometimes just ask for the pain to be quick

It doesn't matter if I sleep wearing a Crown
My real treasures are herkimer diamonds you gave me, or the love bracelet you found
and drives we took to see Christmas lights
When I knew you were tired but you saw I was dying and wanted to give me Life
You knew the magic was worth every mile
It did what you wanted it to, It kept me going for awhile

Time has broken my heart
and I can feel you flee
But still I sleep with the knowingness
That you love me Eternally

Once upon a time in a land just last night,
I wished all by myself, just me and the candlelight
To give you more time because I need you so
Dad, I don't have the tools I need to build a house all on my own
If I just have to light you enough to keep you burning slow
Ill do that, Im trying so hard to break the spell, I don't want anymore darkness to grow

You are my candle
You burn in my heart
You are the only one whose tears could extinguish
the fire in me that starts
I need you
Without you, I'll sleep in the Dark
Without you, there's no warmth in my soul
Not even a spark
