A Bright Candle in a Dark Room

You’re a new shirt on a special day

You’re a warm blanket on a cold bed

You can tie my tie

You can fix my hair

And I know who you are

And I know you’ll be there

You’re a good book on a beach towel

You’re a snowball fight when you’re too old for one

You’re popcorn on a movie night

You know me too well

And just right

You know all my jokes

And my fears too

You’re the best thing

That I’ll ever do

You’re a long laugh

When I’m in a sad way

You’re the cake and coffee

On my birthday

You’re the last puzzle piece

And I know I’m done

It’s not just love

It’s a lot of fun

It’s like every day

You take one of my mistakes

You take a look at it

And it fades away

You’re a bright candle

In a dark room

Something clear

That I can look to

I can go to sleep

Knowing how you’ll burn

And when you’re tired

It’ll be my turn
