5000 candles lyrics
[verse 1:]
there’s a lot people running their mouth
that don’t stay the night, never come through town
and some other people running about
that don’t take the time to suss you out
still some of us, every night
we make a toast to you, like “isn’t it nice
that somebody had the presence of mind
to speak over you, ‘let there be light’?”
[verse 2:]
i know it doesn’t make me one of a kind
that i came to you at an opportune time
and it doesn’t mеan i’m one of the guys
but i’m grateful you camе & opened my eyes
still, none of us, up in the play
we don’t think enough of the beauty we make
it’s all work here, every day
but when the lights go out, it’s then that i say:
[chorus:]
sight to behold—
nothing you could do would make me go!
we’ll let the world judge what they don’t know
giving me a heartbeat
making me never wanna leave
we’ll let the world judge, ‘cause they don’t see…
5000 candles
5000 candles burning bright
all the light you could handle
5000 candles here at night
5000 candles
5000 candles burning bright
all the light you could handle
5000 candles here at night
[verse 3:]
they keep telling me it’s only a phase
and that soon enough, i’ll see that i’m craz+
+y for loving you the way that i do
because who could love somebody like you?
they say you’re too, too, too d+mn small
and i won’t pretend it don’t matter at all
but no matter what the trouble ahead
i still won’t regret this time that i spent
[chorus:]
sight to behold—
nothing you could do would make me go!
we’ll let the world judge what they don’t know
giving me a heartbeat
making me never wanna leave
we’ll let the world judge, ‘cause they don’t see…
5000 candles
5000 candles burning bright
all the light you could handle
5000 candles here at night
5000 candles
5000 candles burning bright
all the light you could handle
5000 candles here at night
[outro:]
i wanna know who did that;
show me the match that lit that sky
look at all those candles
ode to the light that caught my eye
never could forget that—
stealing my breath & i don’t mind—
5000 candles
5000 candles here at night
