Even the Candles Cried

He said he'd be there by nine - she smiled - remembering his cologne
The waiter lit the candles - she stared out the window - and waited all alone
Sipped a glass of table wine - tried to call - but he wouldn't answer the phone
This'd be the last time he’d break her heart cause the man was made of stone
She broke down and…
Chorus:
Even the candles cried -- guess they realized
He'd set her up for another painful fall
He'd spoken outright lies -- she s tared into his deceiving eyes
Gave her hope -- that was the cruelest of all
And as if to sympathize -- even the candles cried
She left out in the rain - and wandered - till she met the dawn
And there in the sunlight - stood an old church - that'd once been her second home
Sat down on the old pew - where she'd given her life to him - a long time ago
And there in the stained glass with arms outstretched was The Man sitting on his Throne
....well she reached out and...
Chorus:
Even the candles cried -- guess they realized
He was there to break her -- painful falls
He'd never spoken lies -- when she looked into his eyes
He gave her hope -- when she had none at all
And it came as no surprise -- even the candles cried
Bridge:
On life's long journey when you're slippin’ down
Your plans are meltin’ - fallin' all around
Remember that sunlight thru the stained glass in your eyes
And the candles shinin’ thru your darkest night
Chorus:
Even the candles cried -- guess they realized
He was there to break her -- painful falls
He'd never spoken lies -- when she looked into his eyes
He gave her hope -- when she had none at all
And it came as no surprise -- even the candles cried
