Forty Winks - Christmas Visit (2) Candle in the Window

I was searching for a real love light a fountain
Yet I found my quarry was just a soggy hole
Do you remember how we’d watch the Queen speak on TV?
And now her words cut through my soul

Sitting by the fire when we would share our Christmas presents
But now the flame burns like the ghost of Christmas past

But still I can see the fire of your eyes
As the children play in the snow
Like the candle in my window
Guiding you home

Tonight I will pray for all of us who
Will spend Christmas time on our own
There’s a candle in my window
Guiding you home

You touched my heart and showed me not to fear love
You found a safe path through the minefield of my soul
I keep so many of your pictures for reflection
But no amount of memories can make my life feel whole

How you loved the turkey, the mulled wine, pulling crackers
But the jokes aren’t funny when there’s no-one there to hear

But still I can see the fire of your eyes
As the children play in the snow
Like the candle in my window
Guiding you home

Tonight I will pray for all of us who
Will spend Christmas time on our own
There’s a candle in my window
Guiding you home

I feel the biting wind on my cheek like on the street outside your window
The streetlights catch the snow now that our sun has set
My simple car felt like my modern day Verona
And your face my Juliet’s face

But how could we have known that all we had could end so badly
Our fate was sewn the very day that we first met

But still I can see the fire of your eyes
As the children play in the snow
Like the candle in my window
Guiding you home

Tonight I will pray for all of us who
Will spend Christmas time on our own
There’s a candle in my window
Guiding you home

But still I can see the fire of your eyes
As the children play in the snow
Like the candle in my window
Guiding you home

Tonight I will pray for all of us who
Will spend Christmas time on our own
There’s a candle in my window
Guiding you home
