Wonder, Stevie - Lighting Up The Candles Lyrics






Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love

Lighting up the candles
To what use to be
Tender memories in moments of love
Happy times and bad times
All seem wonderful
When you have a toast to moments of love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love

Lighting up the candles
To what use to be
Tender memories in moments of love
Happy times and bad times
All seem wonderful
When you have a toast to moments of love

I really think we could have made it
To that forever and a day
But destiny and fate decided
They would get in our way

Lighting up the candles
Wishing you the best
Like the happiness in moments of love
For lighting up the candles
Spark the memories
Helping us to see more moments of love

I really think we could have made it
To that forever and a day
But destiny and fate decided
They would get in our way

For lighting up the candles
Spark the memories
Helping us to see the need for what was
Helping us to see more moments of love

Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love

    You gotta be an older mf to appreciate this kinda jam....all lovers of music period can love a song as such....I'm African American an all those of different races that like this song just know that music that is so called outside of our 'so called' likings we like/love too....because music touches the soul and all of us as human beings have the ability to do so......I just feel like I should say this because not enough of us speak up enuff

    Besides being a musical genius I don't Stevie gets as much credit for being a great singer listen to the part where he says''' I really think we could have made it '' beautiful voice

    N.... P....

    I have been listening to Stevie all my life, and yes I always thought he is (besides being a musical genius.. his chords are amazing) the best male voice of all time if you ask me, his upper register is out of this world, the control, purity and flexibility of his voice are insane.. my favorite part is actually when he sings "but destiny and faith decided.."

  8. J.... k....

    I love this song....

    Stevie Wonder wrote the song "Lighting Up the Candles" as a tribute to Gaye following his death and performed the song originally at Gaye's funeral service. Wonder later recorded the song for the Jungle Fever soundtrack.
