LIGHT UP THE CANDLES
(Ralph Siegel)

The Bellamy Brothers - 1996


Light up the candles to make the whole World see
It's a sign that we should live in peace and harmony
Light up the candles, ashine in every heart
Bring a little brightness to the dark

Light up the Christmas tree and sing a Christmas song
Just believe in love and joy and let our dreams be strong
Jesus Christ was born to save the World very long ago
Shining candles let the people know

It's a time to find a friend
Stand together hand in hand
It's a time to trust in smilin' eyes
Here and there, everywhere
For people live and people care
It's a time to do away with lies

So, light up the candles and make the whole World see
It's a sign that we should live in peace and harmony
Light up the candles, ashine in every heart
Bring a little brightness to the dark

Light up the Christmas tree and sing a Christmas song
Just believe in love and joy and let our dreams be strong
Jesus Christ was born to save the World very long ago
Shining candles let the people know

It's a time to look around
While the World is calming down
See the Star of Bethlehem arise
Here and there, everywhere
For people live and people care
It's a time to do away with lies

So, light up the candles and make the whole World see
It's a sign that we should live in peace and harmony
Turn on a light and Holy night will shine in every heart
And light up all the candles in the dark

Just light up a candle
Just light up all the candles in the dark
