Marigold Lanterns at Midnight

I like the marigold path in the midnight glow

Soft flames on the altar where the candle shadows flow

I lay down the bread and the water sweet and still

Calling your name through the hush on the hill

And the air feels closer

Like a breath I know

As the golden petals guide you

Through the afterglow

Come all for one beautiful night

Cross the firelight, follow the plight

I'll save you a place by the heart of the flame

Speak your old stories, oh, let's hear your name

Come home for one beautiful night

We'll dance with the stars till the morning light

Under marigold rivers, we're never apart

You live in the music

You live in my heart

I hear your laughter in the rustle of the trees

In the sugar skull colors and the autumn breeze

Every photo on the table is a window to the past

But love is a bridge that was made to last

So I open the door

Where the cold wind died

And I watch for the shimmer in the corner of my eyes

Come home for one beautiful night

Cross the firelight, follow the bright

I said you a place by the heart of the flame

Speak your old stories, I'll answer your name

Come home for one beautiful night

We'll dance with the stars ′til the morning light

Our marigold rivers were never apart

You live in the music

You live in my heart

No grief can erase what the candle has shown

The ones we have loved are not ever alone

They return in the perfume

The prayer and the song

In the breath of the night

Where the memory belongs

Come home for one beautiful night

Cross the firelight, follow the bright

I'll lay down the flowers, I'll keep the door wide

With love as my lantern, walk by my side

Come home for one beautiful night

Beneath tender breaths and the silver moonlight

When the dawn takes the color

And sends you apart

You live in the music

You live in my heart
