There's a candle burning in my window
And its light is the only light I see
Lay your head down on my pillow
Can I hold your tender body close to me

I would lay with you under a moonlit sky
And we'd make our wish on every star above
If the mountains fall or if the sun refused to shine
I'd still do my best to give you my sweet love

Lay your head down on my pillow
And tell me your peaceful dreams
Are you dreaming of the road less traveled
Would you take that long and winding road with me

I've seen the sun rise over Arizona
The Mississippi River, she's flowing free
But when I'm away from you
All I can think of is how your warm touch appeals to me

I know that life can feel so empty
Feels like you face this world alone
You wish somebody would come and save you
From those lonely nights that sometimes feel so long

There's a candle burning in my window
And its light is the only light I see
Lay your head down on my pillow
Can I hold your tender body close to me
