Candles in the Dark Lyrics

Children playing by the pond

You were Guinevere and I was..John

To you I rode a horse with silver bit and bridle

But to me it was just a bike with a plastic horn

Children dancing in the park

I stumbled while you moved like Joan of Arc

My two left feet were like a clown in Ringling's Circus

But you moved like the wind in Central Park

You would see monsters in your closet

I saw only clothes all neatly stacked

To you the stars were sparkling bits of diamonds

But I saw only bits of white or black

I held you as we strolled along the park

Your dad said home by ten and you would balk

I could have stayed with you for ten more lifetimes

But I took you home before the sky grew dark

You would see monsters in your closet

I saw only clothes all neatly stacked

To you the stars were sparkling bits of diamonds

But I saw only bits of white or black

Candles flickered in the night

Romantic gleams exchanged by candlelight

The only light I need's reflected in your eyes

Just like candles in the dark

Yours is the smiling face that lights my inspiration

Just like candles in the dark

Burning bright like embers of my heart

Just like candles in the dark

Just like candles in the dark
