At Candlelight

Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)



The Room is Dark, It has Turned to Night

The Shadows are Dancing at Candlelight

The Shadows Move Slowly Across the Wall

As the Candle is carried Down the Hall.

 

The Candlelight is Oh So Bright

To Guide Your Way Through the Night

The Light of the Candle Will Guide Your Way

Into the Dawn of A Beautiful Day.
