(Susan Longacre/Walt Aldridge/Gary Baker)



There's a road that I remember leading to a special place

Where the door was always open to a smiling face

There's a picture on the mantle of a boy that looks like me

It's always the same, there's a stocking with my name



And a candle in the window, a flame against the night

There's a candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light

It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are

Just a candle in the window



Maybe it's just wishful thinking I can hear the sleigh bells ring

Almost taste the pie she's baking, it's Christmas Eve



And there's a candle in the window, a flame against the night

The candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light

It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are

Just a candle in the window and Christmas in your heart



Wherever the years may take me no matter how far I go

There's going to be a candle burning, it's always nice to know

It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are

Just a candle in the window and Christmas in your heart
