Silk, Satin, Carriage Waiting - Tommy James

Silk and satin carriage waiting

Stained glass eyes anticipating

What my mind is celebrating

As I watch the colors fade away

I’m thinking 'bout the morning sun

And all the things I should have done

And all the love I could have won

And all the words I would have liked to say

Light a candle for me, mama

Make the world a little brighter

Light a candle for me, mama

Don’t cry for me

All the time was never wasted

Though the wine was never tasted

And when I came face to face

I took my life and placed it in my hands

Someone deep inside of me

The spirit that has guided me

Passions that, in spite of me

I’d like to think I’d do it all again

Light a candle for me, mama

Make the world a little brighter

Light a candle for me, mama

Make the world a little brighter

Light a candle for me, mama

Make the world a little brighter
