Silk and satin, carriage waiting,
Stained gla** 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 pa**ions, 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.
