Lyrics
Life, like a candle in the rain.
Life, a bright momentary flame.
When we master the tune, it’s over too soon
too bad, no one wins the game.
There I was,
living in my wonderland,
all I needed in my hand
it was holding you,
that’s too much to lose.
Look at me,
so sure what the future held,
’till I slipped until I fell
heard the music fade,
but no one heard the words I prayed.
I light every candle, to lighten my pain.
My pain and the candle, we long for the rain.
Life, like a candle in the rain.
Life, a bright momentary flame.
If your young, you’re too old
to put dreams on hold
too bad, I’m now on my own.
Life, like a candle in the rain.
Life, a bright momentary flame.
When we master the tune, it’s over too soon
too bad, no one wins the game.
Life, like a candle in the rain.
Life, a bright momentary flame.
If your young, you’re too old
to put dreams on hold
too bad, I’m now on my own.
Life, like a candle in the rain.
