[Intro] D A D [Verse]
D
Oh Christmas candle please light up the way

A                            D
back to my memories of yesterday

D
cicles hanging on evergreen trees

A                                  D
buttery snowflakes that fell on my cheeks (+measure)
[Chorus]
G                        D
Mama's sweet singing and Daddy's big hands

        D         A        D
And Christmas all over the land
[Verse]
D
Oh Christmas candle please light up the way

   A                                   D
to when I would ride on a small wooden sleigh

D
riding on snow just as pure as the heart

   A                                D
of sweet baby Jesus in his mother's arms
[Chorus]
G                           D
Starlight that glistened on snow covered hills

     D             A        D
when Christmas was holy and still
[turnaround] D A D [Verse]
D
Oh, Christmas candle please light up the way

A                              D
into the past and the innocent days

D
when we were just children with hearts full of trust

    A                                       D
and we thought that Christmas was all about us
[Chorus]
G                          D
There by the fireside with sweet smelling wood

D                      A           D        G
we made a promise that we would be good

G
be with my loved ones and breathe in the air
