Candle light, sweet candle light, throw shadows on the wall
And aside from the whisper of your breath, there is no sound at all
Candle light, sweet candle light, keep a loving mood
We won't leave this country paradise 'til we run out of food

I'll kiss you 'til you're quivering, I'll love you 'til you cry
I'll love 'til you're falling asleep
I'll wake you in the dead of night, I'll love you in your dreams

Through the window in the roof what starry world above
But we will not leave this world of ours 'til we run out of love

Yes, I'll wake you in the dead of night, I'll love you in your dreams
For my love is like the universe, so deep

Candle light, sweet candle light, your wick has burned to death
But we will not leave this paradise 'til we run out of breath
