I Gave My Love a Candle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I gave my love a candle A promise at life And I told him when my number comes up Winds would fill the sky Me, I'm fixin' to die [Chorus] Moving down that same lonesome road No, I don't know why Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye [Verse 2] You didn't have to fool me You didn't have to lie My love comes 'round like a thief in the night But only love can make you cry And we have walked side by side [Chorus] Moving down that same lonesome road No, I don't know why Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye [Bridge] Your love was like a diamond Ride a wave on a sea that calms my mind Moving onward to a distant shore Where the boats sail in a line We have danced to a fateful rhyme [Chorus] Moving down the same lonesome road No, I don't know why Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye [Verse 3] You didn't have to fool me, no You didn't have to lie If it all came out so ugly It's only my love that could make you cry And we have walked side by side [Chorus] Moving down that same lonesome road And I still don't know why Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye [Outro] Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
