[Verse 1] A little breeze brushes the candle And bends the flame off to one side Moonlight settles on your shoulders While silver clouds drift far and wide The warm air moves between the trees The stars spread out above The whole night gathers around us But you're the meaning of it all [Chorus] Candles and moonlight Soft around your face Stars above us shining But they can't take your place Every little light tonight Only makes me see Candles and moonlight Mean more with you here next to me [Verse 2] Candlelight moves across your skin That little smile keeps pulling me near Your hand rests easy beside mine And everything else disappears The night keeps breathing all around us Soft and slow beneath the sky Let the hours take their time now With you right here tonight [Chorus] Candles and moonlight Soft around your face Stars above us shining But they can't take your place Every little light tonight Only makes me see Candles and moonlight Mean more with you here next to me [Bridge] Those stars have watched a thousand lovers Sitting underneath this sky Heard a thousand quiet promises Seen a thousand years roll by Let them watch us here together They've seen love come and go After all these years beside you You're still the one I want to know [Final Chorus] Candles and moonlight Soft around your face Stars above us shining But they can't take your place Every little light tonight Only makes me see Candles and moonlight Mean more with you here next to me [Spoken Outro] Don't worry, baby... I promise I'll pay the light bill tomorrow.
