Candlelight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] To know her is to love her I'm going undercover To catch a glimpse but not get caught But to see her could be worse If I don't get my head straight first On second thought, I guess I'll not [Pre-Chorus 1] She's almost brighter than the sun Seems to me to be unfair When you consider everyone Who pales when they compare When they compare [Chorus] Can't hold a candle to her 'Cause all the moths get in the way And they'll begin to chew her Entire attire until it frays For she outshines anyone whoever might Dare to bask in the same candlelight [Verse 2] Oh, please don't seat us in the back With all the insects and the trash She is a lady; I'm the tramp Collecting stares from pairs close by Then flutters in the butterfly Ew, just a moth drawn to the lamp [Pre-Chorus 2] She's like an ancient artifact Something you're lucky to have found She'll pinch the nerves in all the necks When she turns those heads around Those heads around [Chorus] Can't hold a candle to her 'Cause all the moths get in the way And they'll begin to chew her Entire attire until it frays For she outshines anyone whoever might Dare to bask in the same candlelight Who may dare to bask in the same candlelight [Pre-Chorus 1] She's almost brighter than the sun Seems to me to be unfair When you consider everyone Who pales when they compare When they compare [Chorus] Can't hold a candle to her 'Cause all the moths get in the way And they'll begin to chew her Entire attire until it frays For she outshines anyone whoever might Dare to bask in the same candlelight In the same candlelight
