Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

Light a candle

For the old man who sits staring

Out a frosty window pane

Light a candle

For the woman who is lonely

And every Christmas it's the same

For the children who need

More than presents can bring

Chorus

Light a candle

Light the dark

Light the world

Light a heart or two

Light a candle for me

I'll light a candle for you

Verse

Light a candle

For the homeless and the hungry

A little shelter from the cold

Light a candle

For the broken and forgotten

May the season warm their souls

Can we open our hearts

To shine through the dark

Chorus

Bridge

And in this special time of year

May peace on earth surround us here

And teach us there's a better way to live

Oh, and with every (every) flame that burns

We must somehow learn

That love's the greatest gift

That we could ever give

Chorus
