The Last Blue Candle

There's a blue candle burning On my table tonight. A little flame fighting Against the dark inside. Your picture's fading, But the memory stays. Like an old blue song I can't put away. I hear your footsteps In the empty hall. A ghost of a love That once had it all. I gave you my heart. I gave you my name. But some fires die Even when you pray. This is the last blue candle I burn for you tonight. The last tear I'll cry Under this lonely light. I'm letting go of yesterday. I'm releasing what we lost. This is the last blue candle for a love That paid the cost. The rain keeps falling On the window glass. Like all the memories Of the past. I used to wait For you to come home. Now I'm learning How to stand alone. Mm. The blues taught me How to survive. How to find A little hope inside. Every scar Has a story To tell. Every goodbye Has a wishing well. This is the last blue candle I'll burn for you tonight. The last tear I'll cry Under this lonely light. I'm letting go of yesterday. I'm releasing what we lost. This is the last blue candle for a love That paid the cost. Oh, when the flame disappears, I finally see The woman in the mirror who was waiting for Me. No more shadows, no more pain, No more dancing in the rain. I'll carry the lessons, but I won't carry your Name. This is the last blue candle, The final song we'll share. The last time I whisper That I still care. The night may be lonely, But my heart will rise above. This is the last blue candle For the last goodbye Of love.
