There's a road that I remember leading to a special place Where the door was always open to a smiling face There's a picture on the mantle of a boy who looks like me And it's always the same there's a stocking with my name And a candle in the window a flame against the night There's a candle in the window it's like God's perfect light It won't take a lot of money to know what riches are Just a candle in the window oh it's Christmas in your heart in your heart Maybe it's just wishful thinking I can hear the sleigh bells ring Almost taste the pie momma's baking it's Christmas Eve There's a candle in the window there's a flame against the night There's a candle in the window it's like God's perfect light It don't take lots of money to know what riches are Just a candle in the window Christmas in your heart Wherever the years may take me no matter how far I go There's gonna be a candle burning it's always nice to know It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are A simple candle in the window and Christmas in your heart Your heart your heart Just a candle in the window Just a candle in the window
