A candle glows
In the corner
Its light reflects upon
Your sumptuous silver gown
And as you walk
Across the room
I shudder as I think
That someone so beautiful
Could fall in love
With one like I
I feel perhaps I am
The luckiest man alive
Your tender smile
And pretty eyes
Are things to take my breath
I know how deep is my love
For you my sweet
Who warms my soul
And brightens all these days
That otherwise would be grey
And as I see
Your tender lips
The colour of red wine
Made richer by the candle
I long to kiss
You my lover
And take you in my arms
And invite you for a dance
For I now hear
John Dankworth's sound
Play on a thirty-three
Music that is a soundtrack
For you and I
Together as one
The way we wish to be
As warm as the candles glow
After the dance
We would then fall
In to a special place
Of passion and desire
Tempered with care
And kindness too
Gifted to each other
Between both our loving hearts
So come sweet one
Be mine tonight
Pledge here your love for me
In presence of this candle
I'll take your hand
I'll kiss your lips
I'll hold you in my arms
And I'll love you as we dance.
