[D]Keep that candle burnin' bright, [A]mama
I'll be kind of late tonight, [D]mama
[D]There's a yellow moon above me, [A]mama
Shinin' on the one I love, [D]mama
[D]Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our [A]way
Keep that d[D]oorway open [G]wide
[D]Until we come slowly [A]strollin' side by [D]side
[D]While that candle's shinin' high, [A]mama
I'll be with my sugar pie, [D]mama
[D]We'll be comin' home you know [A]mama
Lookin' for that candle glowin', [D]mama
[D]Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our [A]way
Keep that d[D]oorway open [G]wide
[D]Until we come slowly [A]strollin' side by [D]side
SOLO in D then end on Bb
[Eb]After we have had the wedding, [Bb]mama
[Bb]To that candle we'll be headin', [Eb]mama
So before we're winin' and dinin', [Bb]mama
[Bb]Keep that candle light a-shinin', [Eb]mama
[Eb]Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, honey, light our [Bb]way
Keep that d[Eb]oorway open [Ab]wide
[Eb]Until we come slowly [Bb]strollin' side by [Eb]side
