I carry a candle
In my heart for you
I keep it lit day and night
I keep it lit in all I say and do
I carry a candle for your love
Your smile I miss so much
I carry a candle in my heart
For your daughters who miss your touch
I carry a candle
I keep it burning bright
I think of you every day when I wake
And before I sleep
I pray for you each night
I carry a candle in my heart
For all the time that past us by
I keep it bright for joy
When thinking of you I cry
My candle is a light of love
That has been there for you since the day you were born
My candle keeps on burning
Yet even though today I mourn
I carry every memory of you
That I can recall
I carry only tender love for you
No matter what may befall
I carry a candle in my heart for you
I hear you when you’re near
I’ll always carry a candle in my heart for you Curtis
And in the light I’ll keep you here
I smile when I remember
How we laughed and teased and played
From the day you were born
To the day before you went away
Oh my little baby brother
If only you had known how much we love you so
If only there had been someone there for you
Perhaps God wouldn’t have made you go
Nevertheless
My candle shall ever burn so bright
For you will live forever
In my heart and in it’s light
