lyrics

Candle in the Wind by Mark Bishop Evans.

I can’t hold a candle in the wind. I guess I’ll have to say it all again.
My love is like a candlelight and winter’s how you’ve been
And I can’t hold a candle in the wind.

You came into my life just like a storm. You wanted me to love and keep you warm
But all my love it seems to you is just a tiny flame
And I can’t hold a candle in the rain.

Chorus
I can chase the moon across the sky or climb the mighty mountains high
And even watch the way that life begins
I’m capable of many things. I even walk in other dreams
But I can’t hold a candle in the wind

If I could I’d build a fire tall to keep you warm winter, spring and fall
But I’d have to burn the best of me or else the fire would dim
And I can’t hold a candle in the wind

I can’t hold a candle in the wind I guess I’ll have to say it all again
But I wish I could surround myself in a lamp of glass and tin
Cause I can’t hold a candle to the wind

And when all is said and done, and you find yourself alone
Just look back on all the times I said “this is how it all would end”
Cause I can’t hold a candle in the wind.
