Oh Christmas candle please light up the way

Back to my memories of yesterday

Icicles hanging on evergreen trees
D7                                 G
Buttery snowflakes that fell on my cheeks
C                         G
Momma's sweet singing and daddy's big hands
              D7           G
And Christmas all over the land


Oh Christmas candle please light up the way
D7                                     G
To when I would ride on a small wooden sleigh

Riding on snow just as pure as the heart
D7                                  G
Of sweet baby Jesus in His mother's arms
C                           G
Starlight that glistened on snow covered hills
               D7           G
When Christmas was holy and still


Oh Christmas candle please light up the way
D7                             G
Into the past and the innocent days

When we were just children with hearts full of trust
D7                                          G
And we thought that Christmas was all about us
C                          G
There by the fireside with sweet smelling wood
                  D7               G
We made a promise that we would be good


Oh Christmas candle please light up the way
D7                                        G
I want to go back there for one Christmas day

Be with my loved ones and breathe in the air
D7                                   G
I light this candle and send up this prayer
C                           G
Starlight that glistened on snow covered hills
               D7           G
When Christmas was holy and still
