“Candlelight”

Here we are, you’ve decided you’re going
There’s not much left to say and we know it
Our final moments together wither away
By the door, there’s a mountain of memories
Boxes of pictures and poems from your enemy
Wish I could find one to show what you meant to me

And tell me what would you do if everything you loved just walked away
And wouldn’t you start to cry if forever had to end today

But we’ve got some candlelight
We’ve got a bottle of wine
We’ve got the rest of the night
For making love

This old house, so incredibly haunted
The couch and the glasses nobody wanted
Ain’t it a shame that it’s all that we’ve got left to share
And I know, there’s no way to recover
I know, I’m no longer your lover
Baby couldn’t you stay just a little bit longer

Cause we’ve got some candlelight
We’ve got a bottle of wine
We’ve got the rest of the night
For making love

I remember the day that we met was a blind date at a bar way up in North Beach You were wearing a flower in your hair and all I could think was Man I wish she would look at me, and then you looked at me

Baby don’t you remember
Our first kiss on Jackson Street
Don’t tell me it don’t mean nothin’
I know its gotta mean somethin’

Cause we’ve got some candlelight
We’ve got a bottle of wine
We’ve got the rest of the night
For making love
