Light A Candle

	  		

 


Verse:
 
C              Am 
 Light a candle 
        Dm               C 
For the old man who sits staring 
      Bb 
Out a frosty window pane 
C              Am 
 Light a candle 
        Dm           C 
For the woman who is lonely 
          Bb 
And every Christmas it's the same 
        Dm           C 
For the children who need 
          Bb 
More than presents can bring 


D 
 Light a candle 
Bm 
 Light the dark 
G 
 Light the world 
A 
 Light a heart or two 
Bm       (D) 
 Light a candle for me 
G             (D)    (A) D 
 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:
 
    F 
And in this special time of year 
    C 
May peace on earth surround us here 
    Am                               G 
And teach us there's a better way to live  
             Bm            Em 
Oh, and with every (every) flame that burns 
Bm              Em 
We must somehow learn 
     C                   G 
That love's the greatest gift 
     F 
That we could ever give  


Chorus
