candle (berlin boy) (orchestral version)

It doesn't matter how far you go
I will hold a candle for you in my hand
And I'll watch it burn I'll watch it die
Until you're ready to come back

'Cause it doesn't matter how far you run
I will save a place for you in my car
Even if it's just to talk or to help you get the groceries home
No one's gonna take it from you

'Cause who else could I call when the night comes
And I need reassurance on my fears
And where else would I find someone like you
Who's endured way more than is deserved
And still goes on, head high, never realizing how proud he makes me

Whatever you do don't forget me
'Cause I know it's easy to do it
And I know that you won't believe it
But living without you ain't easy
And I will still find you in my town
'Cause your name still lingers on my mouth
And if you get lost in your darkness
Just know I'll light a candle for you

Wish that you could see yourself the way I see you
Maybe then you wouldn't think you're so unworthy
Of the love and passion everyone has for you
(boy trust me they do)
'Cause you taught me love comes in many forms
And how to breath when the world gets too loud
Smoking with my eyes closed everything gets quiet

And who else could I run to if night comes
And I can't even sleep in my own home
And where else would I find someone like you
Who can speak the same language and melodies as me
Hold on, if you go, tell me that you know just how proud you made me

Whatever you do don't forget me
'Cause I know it's easy to do it
And I know that you won't believe it
But living without you ain't easy
And I will still find you in my town
'Cause your name still lingers on my mouth
And if you get lost in your darkness
Just know I'll light a candle for you
