Once every christmas I take some time Time on my own where I can gather my thoughts and try To think of people I once knew This year I'll light a candle just for you. I never thought life could hurt so bad The moment you said goodbye oh how I wish I could've had More time to share my world with you Hope you are missing me, too This year I'll light a candle just for you The light - brings you back to me tonight Memories of you and I Live within my mind Not so hard to find All the love you left behind There are some things I would like you to know Things I have done and things I've learned that have made me grow And dreams I hope someday'll come true This year I'll light candle just for you I'm lighting a light in my heart Thinking of you and the things that we used to do 'Cause the light - brings you back to me tonight... Once every christmas I say goodbye I tug you in, and let the memories fly and I'll See you again and when I do Then I will light a candle just for you This year my light was shining just for you
