Lyrics

BLOW THE CANDLES OUT
(Music & Lyrics by Gene Ober - All rights reserved)

Midnight moon in the early hour
Holds me in its gentle light
Sunny days and an April shower
Makes me feel all right

CHORUS:

But when the evening comes
I learn what love's about
That's when I hold you in my arms
And blow the candles out

Runnin' free in an open field
Hikin' back into the woods
Singin' songs with my old guitar
Makes me feel so good

And though this life of mine gets shorter every day
I'll give it my best to make it last
And though there's not time to waste the hours away

I'll spend every minute
The way I choose to live it
And I choose to live it with you.

CHORUS:

But when the evening comes
I learn what love's about
That's when I hold you in my arms
And blow the candles out

That's when I hold you in my arms
And blow the candles out
