Oh Christmas candle please light up the way
A D
back to my memories of yesterday
D
cicles hanging on evergreen trees
A D
buttery snowflakes that fell on my cheeks (+measure)
[Chorus]
G D
Mama's sweet singing and Daddy's big hands
D A D
And Christmas all over the land
[Verse]
D
Oh Christmas candle please light up the way
A D
to when I would ride on a small wooden sleigh
D
riding on snow just as pure as the heart
A D
of sweet baby Jesus in his mother's arms
[Chorus]
G D
Starlight that glistened on snow covered hills
D A D
when Christmas was holy and still
[turnaround]

[Verse]
D
Oh, Christmas candle please light up the way
A D
into the past and the innocent days
D
when we were just children with hearts full of trust
A D
and we thought that Christmas was all about us
[Chorus]
G D
There by the fireside with sweet smelling wood
D A D G
we made a promise that we would be good
[KEY CHANGE turnaround]

[Verse]
G
Oh, Christmas candle please light up the way
D G
I want to go back there for one Christmas day

I light this candle and send up this prayer
[Chorus]
C G
Starlight that glistened on snow covered hills
G D G
when Christmas was holy and still

Oh, Christmas candle
