After the phone calls

And tears have been shed,

Once all the words have been

Drained from our heads,

Try as i might

To believe in this choice,

To believe in the future bright and free,

Running it’s course,

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle

Baby, i don’t wanna leave you

Baby, i don’t wanna stay

Morning he awakes

Tearstained face with

Dreams of her

As his wife

But he

Can’t do right

By her

To save

His own life -

But god knows it would,

It would, it would.

God knows it would,

It would, it would.

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle

No one holds a candle to you

No one holds a candle

Baby, i don’t wanna leave you

Baby, i don’t wanna stay
