Inspired by a friend.
Lyrics
Once upon a time there was a candle Bright and new her glow a flickerin’ flame Melting like the tears of a love story And as she dripped upon the page Sometimes she thinks about who she used to be When there was romance in her day Now she thinks about what’s left to do Before she melts away And as her flame, lit the path along the way Through the seasons her youth Through all the dreams that came and went away And all the boys who whispered I love you Sometimes she wonders about what could have been She never wants to let that memory fade she wants to relive all the love she ever had Before she melts away Somewhere out there tonight there's a candle burning bright someone falls in love someone says goodbye Once upon a time there was a candle Bright and new her glow a flickerin’ flame Melting like the tears of a love story And as she dripped upon the page There a love has left and gone forever Leaving her heart in disarray She steals the darkness and she says good night before she melts away and when she finally goes she leaves behind her light and then she melts away
