Candle Light Memories...1986

As I gaze into the candle-light*
I dream of you and I*
All the games we're playing*
Cause love to pass us by*

We're oh, so close to giving in*
But fear holds us apart*
If I can't hold you in my arms*
I'll hold you in my heart*

The candle's burning brighter now*
I can almost see your smile*
I can feel your touch and taste your kiss*
But it's only for awhile*

The flame begins to flicker*
I wonder if you'll dream of me*
If you'll hold me close unto your heart*
If in the stars, my eyes, you'll see*

The flame casts but a shadow now*
And as I drop off to sleep*
I'll whisper to you, sweet words of love*
Then I'll hold you in my dreams...
