Next To The Candlelight

Next to the Candlelight
Music and Lyrics by
Tommy Chanthasene 2001

(Verse 1)
I wake up from my dreaming,
With one thing on my mind.
That one day you would be next to me,
Sitting next to the candlelight.

Running through the stormy rain,
I see your face smiling back at me.
I wrote you a letter yesterday.
Please take the time to read it.

(Chorus)
Next to the candlelight,
We will toast our love forever.
Next to the candlelight,
In my arms is where you belong.

So many things will be remembered,
And so many slip away.
The glow in your eyes will never fade away.
Baby next to the candlelight.

(Verse 2)
I pick a flower from the garden,
As I walk onto the shore.
Memories of the sunset,
Bring smiles more and more.

No need to hurry lets take it slow.
Baby you'll see that my love will grow.
Days get colder as I realize.
Seasons just pass me by.

Next to the candlelight,
We will toast our love forever.
Next to the candlelight,
In my arms is where you belong.

I'll give you my mind, my heart, and soul,
To show you just how much I care.
And in an instant you know that I'll be there.
Baby next to the candlelight.

(Bridge)
Love can be so confusing.
How can I truly know?
You've given me so much.
It'll take me forever to ever let you go.

So many things will be remembered,
And so many slip away.
The glow in your eyes will never fade away.
Baby next to the candlelight.
