While There's a Candle Burning
Embracing Love's Glow: Steve Winwood's Musical Journey
Lyrics
You used to come and see me all the time
You used to visit me frequently.
I gave you everything I had
I gave you all that I possessed.
I brought you up
I nurtured and raised you.
And I never left you one time feeling bad
I ensured you never felt upset or hurt.
They say it's a new age
People mention a new era or time.
And I wonder where you've been
I'm curious about where you've been.
You can help me turn a new page
You can assist me in starting anew.
The same door is open-come on in
I'm inviting you to come back, the opportunity is open.
While there's a candle burning
I'll continue to hope while there's still a chance.
I'll be reaching for your heart
I'll keep trying to reach your emotions or core.
While there's a wheel still turning
As long as life is ongoing, I understand my role.
I know how to play my part
I'm aware of how to fulfill my part or duty.
So I keep the wheels all turning
I maintain the mechanisms necessary for progress.
And I keep the candles burning
I sustain the emotions or passion for you.
All day through here for you
All day, I'm dedicated to you.
The world is full of players in the night
The world is populated with individuals engaging in nightlife.
They say the words they have to say
They speak the necessary words.
They're all so hot
They are passionate or intense.
And they never give a damn for yesterday
They disregard the past.
Don't care if they touch you
They don't mind making contact with you.
Everywhere you saved for me
Everywhere else you've saved for me.
'Cause I still know how to move you
I still understand how to excite or move you emotionally.
I still know how to rock you-come and see
I still know how to captivate you; please return.
