You used to smile ev'ry day with me

But now, I don't smile

There's no smile to see



So by the light of the burning candle

I love you , I love you

By the light of the burning candle

I'll cry



You took apart ev'ry thing I had

But you took a heart

And that's twice as bad



So by the light of the burning candle

I will love you , I'll love you

By the light of the burning candle

I'll cry



So by the light of the burning candle

I will love you , I'll love you

By the light of the burning candle

I'll cry
