       F                    Dm         Gm7          C7
It's so nice to be with you, though you never linger long
        Gm7              C7              F
It's so nice to see your smile, whenever things just seem to 
   F7
go wrong
         Bb               Bbm7             F             Dm
When I'm near you, all my troubles seem to fade and disappear
          G7                                 Gm7    C7
And for a while I see my dreams come shining through


        F               Dm           Gm7           C7
It's so nice to make believe, you and I are so in love
    Gm7          C7               F         F7
I'd awaken every morning, holding you in my arms
            Bb              Bbm7              F            Dm
When you're near me, all my days just seem to hurry by so soon
          G7                                      Gm7  C7
And for a while I dreamt I'd spend my life loving you


Chorus:
                    F             Dm
        I'll burn a Candle In The Night
            Gm7                 C7              F
        And hope that soon it's flickering light
                                Dm
        Will guide you here to me
        Gm7           C7             F
        I'll keep the fire, burning, strong
                      Dm            Gm7         C7      F -Dm-Gm7-C7
        Hope it won't take too long, for you to come to me


Instrumental: F-Dm-Gm7-C7 (4X)

        F                Dm         Gm7            C7
It's so nice to think of you, every night and everyday
        Gm7            C7            F                 F7
How you brighten every moment by the things you do and say
         Bb                Bbm7          F         Dm
When I'm near you, nothing ever seems to matter anymore
          G7                                        Gm7 C7
And for a while I dream you're running back home to me


Chorus

F       Dm                      Gm7     C7     F  Dm
Hope it won't take to long, for you to come to me (2X)
   Gm7     C7      F
For you to come to me
