Willie Nelson - Both Ends of the Candle lyrics

I've been trying so hard to forget you But this chore of forgetting I find Has me burning both ends of the candle And fighting a battle with time What I'd give just to sleep for a moment But it's a luxury that I can't afford For I know that I just dream about you And my tears would start falling once more So I'm burning both ends of the candle I just hope that it lasts through the night For each moment the candle is burning Brings closer the ending of life So I'm burning both ends of the candle I just hope that it lasts through the night For each moment the candle is burning It brings closer the ending of life
