O Christmas Candle

D A D


[Verse]
D
Oh Christmas candle please light up 
the way
A                            D
back to my memories of yesterday
D
cicles hanging on evergreen trees
A                                  
buttery snowflakes that fell on my 
D
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                           
to when I would ride on a small 
        D
wooden sleigh
D
riding on snow just as pure as the 
heart
Continues after the ad
   A                               
of sweet baby Jesus in his mother's
 D
 arms

[Chorus]
G                           D
Starlight that glistened on snow 
covered hills
     D             A        D
when Christmas was holy and still

[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                            
and we thought that Christmas was 
           D
all about us

[Chorus]
G                          D
There by the fireside with sweet 
smelling wood
D                      A          
we made a promise that we would be
 D        G
 good

G
Oh, Christmas candle please light up
 the way
D                             
I want to go back there for one 
           G
Christmas day
G
be with my loved ones and breathe in
 the air
D                                 
I light this candle and send up 
   G      G7
this prayer

[Chorus]
C                           G
Starlight that glistened on snow 
covered hills
G                  D        G
when Christmas was holy and still
