Story Behind The Song
Inspired by my wife of 32 years. Written about 6 months ago, at a time when our relationship wasn't at its best. Written out of a sense of melancholy about the way things used to be or should be. Things are fine now, for what it's worth.

Lyrics
RAISING CANDLES TO THE SKY
Words and music by George L. Welhaf, Jr., 2003©
verse DARLIN?, DO YOU WANT TO SHARE MY DREAM
WON?T YOU LET ME SHARE IN YOURS
WILL YOU STAY WITH ME FOREVER
verse DARLIN?, I WANT YOU TO TAKE MY HAND
DON?T EVER LET IT GO
MY ANCHOR IN THE STORM
bridge COME WITH ME TONIGHT
THE STARS WILL LIGHT OUR WAY
THE ANGELS WILL BE OUR GUIDE
RAISING CANDLES TO THE SKY
verse MY DARLIN?, WHISPER AGAINST MY EAR,
?I?LL NEVER LET YOU GO,
YOU?RE MY HEART AND SOUL?.
bridge LET ME HOLD YOU DEAR
CALM THE STORM WITHIN MY SOUL
THE ANGELS WILL BE OUR GUIDE
RAISING CANDLES TO THE SKY
chorus THE AIR?S ELECTRIFIED
BY YOUR LAUGHTER AND YOUR SIGH
THAT SPARKLE IN YOUR EYE
THE ANGELS MUST HAVE SENT YOU, TO ME
verse MY DARLIN?, WON?T YOU HOLD ME NEAR
EMBRACE ME, PRESS ME CLOSE,
HEAR MY POUNDING HEART
bridge COME WITH ME TONIGHT
THE STARS WILL LIGHT OUR WAY
THE ANGELS WILL BE OUR GUIDE
RAISING CANDLES TO THE SKY
chorus THE AIR?S ELECTRIFIED
BY YOUR LAUGHTER AND YOUR SIGH
THAT SPARKLE IN YOUR EYE
THE ANGELS MUST HAVE SENT YOU, TO ME
verse MY DARLIN, WON?T YOU HOLD ME NEAR
EMBRACE ME, PRESS ME CLOSE,
HERE MY POUNDING HEART.
