YOU COULDN'T EVEN LIGHT HIS CANDLE
(Dallas Frazier)

Billie Jo Spears - 1969



 
As soon as you found out that he was out of town
You thought that just for old times sake you could come around
And the look in your eye tells me that you came to bring shame into our home
With Heaven my witness I want you to write something down

You couldn't even light his candle
Or strike the match that started the fire 
That's burning just for him
I'm his and only his to touch or handle
And you couldn't even light his candle

(Instrumental Break)

You couldn't even light his candle
Or strike the match that started the fire
That's burning just for him
I'm his and only his to touch or handle
And you couldn't even light his candle
