Moody Blues, The - Candle Of Life Lyrics






Something you can't hide
Says you're lonely
Hidden deep inside
Of you only
It's there for you to see
Take a look and be
Burn slowly the candle of life

Something there outside
Says we're only
In the hands of time
Falling slowly
It's there for us to know
With love that we can go
Burn slowly the candle of life

So love everybody
And make them your friend
So love everybody
And make them your friend

Something you can't hide
Says you're lonely
Hidden deep inside
Of you only
It's there for you to see
Take a look and be
Burn slowly the candle of life

Something there outside
Says we're only
In the hands of time
Falling slowly
It's there for us to know
With love that we can go
Burn slowly the candle of life

Moody Blues, The Candle Of Life Comments
  1. N.... F....

    Sunday December 15th, 2019:
    I, Neal Patrick Fry a.k.a. High Priest a.k.a. Sundown from The Only Ghetto in Midtown Livonia, Michigan called The " Sunrise Studios" find "This Song"
    To be Very Meaningful to me.
    I have No One to Pray 3 or More Times a Day anymore.
    My Last Birthday was not Happy on
    Friday June 14th, 2019 and my Once
    Family Members Quit Calling me from
    Their Homes I Guess Because my next
    Older brother owes me $213,000 Thousand Dollars. Only God Knows why.
    I'm A Bachelor of 67 and a Half Years
    With a Life Insurance Policy for Originally $61,000 Thousand Dollars,
    Now only a Little bit More than $41,000
    Thousand Dollars, Social Security Benefits for a Wife that Only God Knows.
    " The Candle Of Life " is Getting Smaller. Only God Knows.
    In 11 Days I Thought that my Favorite
    " Forever Friend " was my " Forever Friend. " Only God Knows.
    " No Merry Christmas Cards "
    I Did Not Get a " Happy Birthday Card "
    Only God Knows why ?
    Hope to Live but Sure to Die.
    Only God Knows.
    Most Sincerely Truthfully,
    Neal Patrick Fry

    Something you can't hide
    Says you're lonely
    Hidden deep inside
    Of you only
    It's there for you to see
    Take a look and be
    Burn slowly, the Candle of Life
    Something there outside
    Says we're only
    In the hands of time
    Falling slowly
    It's there for us to know
    With love that we can go
    Burn slowly, the Candle of Life
    So love everybody and make them your friends
    So love everybody and make them your friends
    Something you can't hide
    Says you're lonely
    Hidden deep inside
    Of you only
    It's there for you to see
    Take a look and be
    Burn slowly, the Candle of Life
    Something there outside
    Says we're only
    In the hands of time
    Falling slowly
    It's there for us to know
    With love that we can go
    Burn slowly, the Candle of Life

    “2020 is yet another huge milestone for many of us who remember their first 1960 milestone and the forgotten 2000. What this next milestone will hold for us? One thing is for certain, what we do today will affect it... Be thankful for something We do today, what We began to build today, a positive habit We start to form today, a benevolent seed We plant today and the wonderful deeds We executed today... Hoooo yeah, we are not sure where all this take us in 2020, but for certain we know all this start today November 3-2018 and We are Grateful for everything. Thanks Master” Nick Catricala

    Awesome. Have not heard them in a long time.

  38. B.... ....

    I was born in '75. My mother loved The Moody Blues, so naturally I was named Justin. I remember her playing their records all throughout my childhood. To this day, whenever I hear their music, I think of how blessed I was as a child. Life and the memories we keep are so precious!

    B.... ....

    Ur so right memories don't leave like people do xxx

  39. M.... J....

    from their 1969 album 'To Our Children's Children's Children', a concept album about space travel. written by bassist John Lodge, and features both Lodge and Justin Hayward on vocals. also the B-side to the 1970 hit "Question"

  40. M.... G....

    This song has been stuck in my mind for weeks, so nice

  41. M.... h....

    Moody Blues is Big

  42. B.... S....

    I’am sixty two now but when I listen to the Moody Blues It takes me back to my youth and there is such a peace and warmth that their music produces in me that no other band can create.

  43. S.... A....

    I HAVE EVERYTHING.....WHY AM I SO LONELY ????💫🌟😇😢😢😢👽🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💖

  44. L.... F....

    Thank you for the post.

  45. b.... ....

    My candle is getting low, but I first heard this song when there was plenty of candle left. Somehow the Moody Blues provide a bridge to something that gives me hope. In another world they would be regarded as shamans and magicians.

  46. E.... B....

    50 YEARS LATER..........,A TIMELESS MASTERPIECE of MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    E.... B....

    What a gentleman justln is x

  47. D.... W....

    Lodge wrote it but Justin sings it.Bravo!

  49. M.... M....

    Amen. Make them your friends. That is what this Earth Question is about, then you all in unified force can move forward and travel afar to the stars, arm in arm; necessary because there is controversy out there too.

  50. v.... c....

    Moody Blues have been saying forever that the communication with the Angels is within the HEART Moody Blues are trying to tell you that the Angels are looking at your HEART. empathy love

    This was the first Moodies Album I bought, Children's Children in 69 or 70. They certainly influenced me profoundly. I'm sure they have heard it all from their fans and yes they are just Rock and Roll musicians, but somehow incredibly deep thoughts and feeling came through them. They were vessels for something our world individually and collectively yearn for. In my humble opinion. Thank you for sharing your videos.

  59. d.... m....

    Espectacular melodia!

  60. R.... B....

    These wonderful words the Moody Blues truly show that they always seem to have much love and in a highly spiritual way to express some words of wisdom, and this right away pushes me to "freely" share to all my brothers and sisters what I found to be the greatest of Our Loving Creator God the Fathers' gift of Love, which was sending us His Beloved Son Jesus who is the Good Shepherd to say and show that Most Loving Way to be loving Peacemakers. But, what had happen was we were deceived from the day we were born, being taught by even highly intelligent scholars and geniuses both Christian and all other teaching institutions who for centuries chose to coincide with the deceiving lie of the wealthy billionaires and trillionaires who claim they own properties here on our Divine Creator God our Fathers planet. Then they pay those average paid employee miners to dig and blast out the gold and other colored rocks down in those deep dangerous mines to say there's some outrageous equivalent value to the man made stamped paper currency from our Creators trees. and then they preach to all those Christian congregations from them bought and sold bible scriptures for short time they're in those costly huge temples or houses of God, and sayin that our Loving Creator would say to do that sick act, and take that stolen corrupt money to slaughter, those beautiful perfectly living families of every sea and land creature, that our Merciful and Loving Creator put here to be happy, unharmed and in peace and harmony with all mankind, and so this is why we must all first be obedient to loving our Creator God with all our heart and all our mind and all our soul and that would be then, to no more support the buying or eating and definitely no killing of all the living creatures both on land and sea and also their eggs, milk and honey is not the food, our Forgiving and Merciful Father gave the fruits, grains, vegetables, and nuts. By making this your most highly priority and devotion to now be a Vegan, which will definitely and clearly begin to open up your hearts and eyes to truly come to bring you our Loving Fathers' miracles and blessings that will guide your way to continue praying to stay strong in your faith and in those Holy Spiritual True words of His Healing to then go forth with His Holy Spirit and share "freely" His Good News on how to follow and be healed and forgiven all in the name of our Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Giving all Praise and Glory to our Holy Father Amen.

  81. R.... B....

    Here today I truly feel to share to all the public who really are ones with the eyes that only a Most True Caring and Loving Creator Supreme Being could of given to all of us, Then to hear what these wise verses are saying about how our lives are here today and like the candle going to the next place after life, I then really wish to say how we were brought into this life, totally unaware that those so-called geniuses and intelligent scholars of teachings, even of Jesus and God, not reveling that True Truth and Way about the Loving Way of Peacemakers that Jesus Christ came on earth to teach. When all those who ask and take the stamped paper currency and the manmade coins of earths metals to preach and think to try and teach you and I of anything of the Truth of Our Only Merciful Forgiving and Caring Creator God, Well I just need to forgive all of them too, but we can start now to be humble and take into our hearts to receive Our Loving Fathers Son, The Good Shepherd and Prince of Peace, When Jesus said He is The Way, and that would be as a child, you remember like in the Bible story, when Jesus was with that group of children, and Jesus was clearly able to communicate with them, then to point that out to the older ones, and so this is why today we too must learn to let that ego pride of being stubborn to being humble like a child, and then to receive the clear and real understanding from the loving kind Teacher Jesus who taught the Truth about God His Fathers Way, which is not that of mans worldly system, but to walk in full faith, just as Jesus said to disciples, to carry no script nor purse worthy of a thief. The other miswritten true lesson that those who recopied the many different bibles, was to say that Jesus Christ was The Good Shepherd, and to say how we must be loving and obedient to understanding that His Merciful Loving Father created all beautiful perfect living families of creatures to be living, happy and in a peaceful harmonious way with all mankind .so stay eating the fruits, vegetables, grains and nut of all Our Most Merciful, and Loving Father I say to you now, If you just truly ask The Father in prayer to give you the strength to stay strong in the faith to continue eating the true healing diet which is being a vegan, I can assure you will witness very quickly, our Holy Fathers Blessed Miracles that will clearly open up your eyes, hearts and mind to then want give all your praise to our Most Loving ,Forgiving and Healing God our Heavenly Father, Amen

    R.... B....

    I just thought to say that I wrote more of my true words of Our Most Loving Father and of His True Beloved Son Jesus on a few more public comments of the Moody Blues songs -- When you're a free man, We live in a land of make-believe, Question, Have you heard, Lost in a lost world, and Nice to be here and also on Richie Havens Freedom song at Woodstock 69 .
