i ll be your candle on the water my love for you will always burn i know you re lost and drifting but the clouds are lifting don t give up you ll have somewhere to turn i ll be your candle on the water till ev ry wave is warm and bright my soul is there beside you let this candle guide you soon you ll see a golden stream of light a cold and friendless tide has found you don t let the stormy darkness pull you down i ll paint a ray of hope around you circling in the air lighted by a prayer i ll be your candle on the water this flame inside of me will grow keep holding on you ll make it here s my hand so take it look for me reaching out to show as sure as rivers flow i ll never let you go i ll never let you go i ll never let you go
