Candle on the Mantle - Always in My Dreams (Acoustic)

Light the candle on the mantle, where our picture used to be,

Ain’t it funny how time changes, but I’m right where I should be.

Life here on the road, ain’t as easy as it seems,

But one thing is for certain, you are always in my dreams.

I’ve been running from my fears, and the way things used to be,

But the memories are so strong now, they keep coming back to me.

Life here on the road, ain’t as easy as it seems,

But one thing is for certain, you are always in my dreams.

I’ve been swallowing my fears, under a whiskey laser beam,

Vaguely out mind with, your perfume on my skin.

Time to catch the flight, I’m just trying to hold on tight,

One look behind the curtain, our love is hard to find.

I’ve been swimming in my tears, in the same familiar dream,

To the false hopes and pretensions, of what it could have been.

These lights don’t shine as bright, I’m just trying to hold on tight,

One thing is for certain, you have never left my mind.

Sail away to an ocean, of our vivid memories,

All the hard work and ambitions, got my name on the marquee.

Life here on the road, ain’t as easy as it seems,

But one thing is for certain, you are always in my dreams.

It’s back to the honkytonks, and the way things used to be,

Singing back my songs, I’m right where I should be.

I live my life on the run but it’s a happy life for me,

One thing is for certain, you are always in my dreams.

Light the candle on the mantle, where our picture used to be,

Ain’t it funny how time changes, but I’m right where I should be.

Life here on the road, ain’t as easy as it seems,

But one thing is for certain, you are always in my dream,

One thing is for certain, you are always in my dreams.
