There's a road that I remember
Leading to a special place
Where the door is always open
To a smiling face
There's a picture on the mantel
Of a boy who looks like me
And 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
Now, it don't take a lot of money
Oh, to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window
And Christmas in your heart
May be it's just wishful thinking
I can hear the sleigh bells ring
Almost taste the pie that's Momma's baking
It's Christmas Eve
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
Now, it don't take a lot of money
Oh, 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 gonna be a candle burning
It's always nice to know
Now, it don't take a lot of money
Oh, to know what riches are
A simple candle in the window
And Christmas in your heart
