One Little Candle

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] The room sinks into a layer of gloom I strike a match and spark the flame [Verse 1] The power went out since the late afternoon The street outside also drowned in silence But the candle's heart still hums softly Warming this corner with its golden shade [Pre-Chorus] I sit and watch the warmth sway gently And feel my heart turn strangely calm [Chorus] one candle beats the dark Small as it is, it wins the night One candle beats the dark Reminds me I need no grand light [Verse 2] Wax drips slowly down the white candle's body Leaving a long bright trail on the table I hug my pillow and tell myself a story And forget that outside it's still dark [Chorus] one candle beats the dark Small as it is, it wins the night One candle beats the dark Reminds me I need no grand light [Bridge] Sometimes hope isn't loud at all Like a candle that only burns in silence But whoever stands within the shadows [Chorus] one candle beats the dark Small as it is, it wins the night One candle beats the dark Reminds me I need no grand light [Outro] The candle burns until the morning comes When the electric light returns, it rests [Fade Out] [End]
