Candle (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 dreams.

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

But the memories are so strong 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 if 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 ambition 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 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 dreams.

One thing

Is for certain you are always in my dreams.
