Keep The Candle Burning

Come in on a shoestring, I go out on a dime
With a tin of shag and a sleeping bag and all I've got is mine
Some say I'm a no-good, some laugh at my style
Does us all some good to let your candle burn a while
Let your candle burn a while

There's a lady I'm courting, every time I come around
She can bake a cake that almost makes me wanna settle down
We do the soft shoe shuffle with the moon up above
She keeps my candle burning, she's my lady love
Keeps it burning, yeah she's my lady love

Button up my spats, brush up my hat, I take a pride in how I dress
But folks don't appreciate the care you take
The world's too frantic for a true romantic
But keep your candle burning, I may be coming to your town
Burning, yeah I may be passing through your town
