Candlelight Promise

I bring the quiet of the evening home

A steady heart, a hand to hold

Every little crack in me you′ve known

You make the tired old hours turn gold

And I bring the light you never asked for

Soft as the glow on the kitchen floor

When the night leans in and the world feels far

I still know exactly who we are

In the candlelight, we don't have to hide

All the truth we form within

Side by side through the dark and the fire

You're my answer, prayer, my sweetest desire

I love the way you stay through the rain

The way you say my name like grace

Even the silence knows your flame

It settles gently on my face

And I've loved the way you never let go

How your kindness runs deep and slow

Like a river under winter skies

You make a home out of borrowed nights

In the candlelight

You don't have to hide

All the truths we've worn with time

Side by side

Through the dark and the fire

You're my answered prayer

My sweetest desire

If the road gets rough

And the years grow old

I'll still hear your breath in every song

If the room goes cold

And the days feel thin

I'll light this love again and again

In the candlelight

We don't have to hide

All the truth we hold with time

Side by side

Through the dark and the fire

You're my answered prayer

My sweetest desire

Candlelight

We're grateful and free

Two old souls in harmony
