Light My Candle - Daphne Rubin-Vega/Anthony Rapp

Lyrics by：Jonathan Larson

What'd you forget

Got a light

I know you you're

You're shivering

It's nothing

They turned off my heat

And I'm just a little

Weak on my feet

Would you light my candle

What are you staring at

Nothing

Your hair in the moonlight

You look familiar

Can you make it

Just haven't eaten much today

At least the room stopped spinning

Anyway what

Nothing

Your smile reminded me of

I always remind people of- who is she

She died

Her name was April

It's out again

Sorry about your friend

Would you light my candle

Well

Yeah ow

Oh the wax it's

Dripping I like it between my

Fingers I figured

Oh well Goodnight

It blew out again

No I think that I dropped my stash

I know I've seen you out and about

When I used to go out

Your candle's out

I'm illin'

I had it when I walked in the door

It was pure

Is it on the floor

The floor

They say I have the best a*s below 14th street

Is it true

What

You're staring again

Oh no

I mean you do have a nice I mean

You look familiar

Like your dead girlfriend

Only when you smile

But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else

Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club

That's where I work-I dance-help me look

Yes

They used to tie you up

It's a living

I didn't recognize you

Without the handcuffs

We could light the candle

Oh won't you light the candle

Why don't you forget that stuff

You look like you're sixteen

I'm nineteen but I'm old for my age

I'm just born to be bad

I once was born to be bad

I used to shiver like that

I have no heat I told you I used to sweat

I got a cold

Uh huh

I used to be a junkie

But now and then I like to

Uh huh

Feel good

Oh here it um

What's that it's a candy bar wrapper

We could light the candle

What'd you do with my candle

That was my last match

Our eyes'll adjust thank God for the moon

Maybe it's not the moon at all

I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street

Bah humbug

Bah humbug cold hands

Yours too

Big like my father's

Do you wanna dance

With you

No with my father

I'm Roger

They call me

They call me

Mimi
