She looks at a picture of a girl dressed in lace
A boy by her side with a smile on his face
And she still remembers the vows that she gave
A lifetime forever, the promise was made
Then she turns down the light
And lights up a candle
Sits in the window
And stares out in the night
'Til the flame flickers out
And the hour grows late
Another night passes, she waits
She picks up his letter and stares at the line
That says "I still love you, I just need some time"
And some nights bring questions, but still she believes
'Cause he was her first love and he'll always be
Then she turns down the light
And lights up a candle
Sits in the window
And stares out in the night
'Til the flame flickers out
And the hour grows late
Another night passes, she waits
Then there's a ring in the night
A voice on the phone
"Would it be alright?
You don't have to ask, just come home"
Now the candle burns bright
For the new day ahead
With a smile on her face, she waits
