Keep that candle burnin' birght, mother
I'll be kinda late tonight, mother
There's a yellow moon above, mother
Shinin' on the one I love, mother
Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
While that candle's burnin' high, mother
I'll be with my sugar pie, mother
We'll be comin' home you know, mother
Lookin' for that candle glow, mother
Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
After we have had the wedding, mother
To that candle we'll be headin, mother
So, before we're winin', dinin', mother
Start that candle light a shinin', mother
Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
Until we come slowly strollin' side by side
'Til I'm strollin' through that doorway with my bride

Well, buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweele, deedle, dee goes the bird
But the sound of your little voice, darling
Is the sweetest sound I've ever heard
I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty when the sky is blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
But the beauty of you
Sweet as the honey from the honeycomb
Sweet are the grapes from the vine
But there's nothing as sweet as you, darling
And I hope someday you'll be mine
