	This is a nice slow song with a good groove.
	Story Behind the Song I originally wrote this song *many* years ago when I was a member of a band called Omega Final. Another member of the band, Alton Peters, gave me a cassette tape of some music he had been working on that he didn't have any words for. As I listened to the cassette, the music of one of his compositions seemed to speak to me. I could hear the words "light a candle" and as I thought about those words eventually a concept for the song arose and I completed the rest of the lyrics. Basically, the song is about love treated carelessly and subsequently lost and an effort to convince that lost love to rekindle the flame of desire that once burned. I originally wrote the song to be sung by a female, so I had to change the key of the song to suit my voice. Recently, after putting together my home studio, I pulled the old song out of the archives and put some new music behind it and voila! Light A Candle was reborn. Lyrics (Chorus) Light a candle In your heart Make a wish But don't blow out the fire And like the beacon of a lighthouse It will lead me to the one I desire (Verse 1) Relationships like ours (The one we had) Are so very hard to find You loved me so But baby, I was blind (Too blind to see what was right in front of me) A love so strong (A stronger love there could never be) Tell me what went wrong Every day I cry an ocean (Hoping to wash you on my shore) And every night I pray To see you walk through my door (Chorus) (Verse 2) I was a fool A fool to let you go But even a fool can learn And now (I know) Just how much you mean to me But is it too late (For things to be like they used to be) If I made the sky Fall into the sea Could I make you fall back Back in love with me (Chorus)
