Light a roman candle with me Just a roman candle You can wear your sandals and I'll pour you just one cup of tea Then you can go and rest You haven't seen my best, so Just spend an evening with me Just a lazy evening Then you could be leaving or we could stay and talk until three I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so Light a roman candle with me Just a roman candle Just a perfect apple Light a roman candle with me Just a roman candle Just a perfect apple If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together A sandwich with everything on it At least we would know that the sparks didn't glow But we owe it to ourselves to try So we aim and ignite So often I call and I plead with you: "Give me a chance!" It's not that often that I understand The ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right So don't think of tomorrow night Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone You look for a legend I'm looking for common ground Your heart isn't breaking And mine isn't making a sound Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old Light a roman candle with me Just a roman candle Just a perfect apple
