A Candle in the Window

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 who looks like me

And 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

Now it don't take a lot of money

Or to know what riches are

Just a candle in the window

Oh, and Christmas in your heart

In your heart

Maybe it's just wishful thinking

But I can hear the sleigh bells ring

And almost taste the pie mama's baking

It's Christmas Eve

There's a candle in the window

There's a flame against the night

There's a candle in the window

It's like God's perfect light

Now it don't take lots of money

Hmm, 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 gonna be a candle burning

It's always nice to know

That it don't take a lot of money

Or to know what riches are

A simple candle in the window

Oh, and Christmas in your heart

In your heart, your heart

In your heart, your heart

Hmm, just a candle in the window

Just a candle in the window
