Lyrics
-1st Verse-
A frame without a picture tells the story of your past
All the good things you had in life, they didn't seem to last
You wonder where you're going and how you'll get that far
All those old summer nights wishing upon a star
Do you follow your head or follow your heart
Sometimes it's so hard to choose
And even when you make that choice
You always seem to lose
-Chorus-
Thaw out your heart and let me inside
Hold the candle a little higher tonight
Don't stop the start that we have begun
Hold yourself up a little higher tonight
-2nd Verse-
Got new friends in high places and some old ones laying low
Hearts got in the way of your sight and made your walking slow
Just a place to hang your hat, a place to feel at home
But even when he says he loves you, you still feel alone
It's a pick and choose game
You've played for so long
It's a runaway joke
A poem without a song
-Chorus-
Thaw out your heart and let me inside
Hold the candle a little higher tonight
Don't stop the start that we have begun
Hold yourself up a little higher tonight
-Bridge-
I know this ain't the end of you
And I hope that you know it too
Sweet dreams can fly away
But I'll stay right by your side and try to make them stay
-Solo-
Do you follow your head or follow your heart
Sometimes it's so hard to choose
And even when you make that choice
You always seem to lose
-Chorus-
Thaw out your heart and let me inside
Hold the candle a little higher tonight
Don't stop the start that we have begun
Hold yourself up a little higher tonight
