****
There's a candle I light and hold as the flame burns bright
And pray that it lasts through the night and on and on
And wonder what has been made, what survived and what's saved
And all the songs left to be played and on and on

I'm still counting...
One for sorrow, two for tomorrow, three for the show
Darling leave a light on for me, I promise I'll be home

As the days drift away and the blues become grays
Regret is a cage that goes on and on
So look for the sun and know I'm the one
Who will fight til it's done and on and on

I'm still counting...
One for sorrow, two for tomorrow, three for the show
Darling leave a light on for me, I promise I'll be home
