ONE SMALL CANDLE 1980 - UNWANTED

James Michael Taylor

Life seems to be training us to expect less while demanding that we give more and more.

ONE SMALL CANDLE Key - G

G D G
In this old world when things go wrong
D G
We hold our women. We sing our song.
D G
We call our children. We call our friends
D G
We do our best to make amends

In spite of trouble, war and strife
I was a husband. You were a wife.

We had the children. We had a home.
I turn my head and it’s all gone…

 G          Em                    D

CHORUS - So tell me darling where is then light
Am C D
One small candle would shine so bright.

One small candle. One small thot
What will be and what will not
The sun will rise and the sun will set
Some day I’ll sleep, I’m sure of that

You were my buddy. You were my pal.
You were my sweetheart and even now
I hold your body deep in my mind
I’m yearning for the ties that bind

CHORUS

One small candle. One small word.
One sweet nothing I thot I heard
Was I dreaming. Is it for real?
I can’t forget the way I feel.

CHORUS
