Silk and satin, carriage waiting, Stained glass eyes anticipating What my soul is celebrating As I watch the colors fade away. Thinking 'bout the morning sun, and All the things I could have done, and All the love I could have won, and All the words I would have liked to say. Light a candle for me, mama. Make the world a little brighter, yeah. Light a candle for me, mama. Don't cry for me. Oh, the time was never wasted Though the wine was never tasted, And when I came face to face I took my life and placed it in my hand. Someone deep inside of me, The spirit that has guided me, The passions, that in spite of me, I'd like to think I'd do it all again. Light a candle for me, mama. Make the world a little brighter, yeah. repeat and fade
