Tommy James - Silk, Satin, Carriage Waiting lyrics

Silk and satin, carriage waiting, Stained gla** eyes anticipating What my soul is celebrating As I watch the colors fade away. Thinking 'bout the morning sun, and All the things I could have done, and All the love I could have won, and All the words I would have liked to say. Light a candle for me, mama. Make the world a little brighter, yeah. Light a candle for me, mama. Don't cry for me. Oh, the time was never wasted Though the wine was never tasted, And when I came face to face I took my life and placed it in my hand. Someone deep inside of me, The spirit that has guided me, The pa**ions, that in spite of me, I'd like to think I'd do it all again. Light a candle for me, mama. Make the world a little brighter, yeah. repeat and fade
