Tonight
I Light This Candle
by
Alan Pedersen
"God
wrote this song.I consider myself fortunate that he trusted
me to hold the pen."
Tonight
I hold this candle In memory of you
Hoping someway, somehow, my love will shine through.
I close my eyes lost in the glow
There are so many things I want you to know.
Chorus:
This
candle says I love you - This candle says I miss you.
This candle is saying I remember you.
When I'm holding it toward heaven,
It feels like you are near.
If you're looking down tonight,
And see this candle burning bright,
It says I'm wishing you were here.
In
the glow of this candle I can almost see your smile
And it carries me away for a little while
To another time, another place
When all it took to light up my world was your beautiful
face.
Chorus
Someday,
someway I'll see you again
I'll hold you in my heart until then.
This
candle says I love you - This candle says I miss you.
This candle is saying I remember you.
When I'm holding it toward heaven,
It feels like you are near.
If you're looking down tonight
And see this candle burning bright,
It says I'm wishing you were here.
This
was used at the Gathering at the Candlelight Memorial for
Bereaved Parents of the USA.
