There's a road that I remember leading to a special place
Where the door was always open to a smiling face
There's a picture on the mantle of a boy that looks like me
It's always the same, there's a stocking with my name

And a candle in the window, a flame against the night
There's a candle in the window, it's like god's perfect light
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window

Maybe it's just wishful thiking I can hear the sleigh bells ring
Almost taste teh pie she's baking, it's christmas eve

And there's a candle in the window, a flame against the night
The candle in the window, it's like god's perfect light
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window and christmas in your heart

Wherever the years may take me no matter how far I go
There's going to be a candle burning, it's always nice to know
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window and christmas in your heart
