Are You Burning, Little Candle? (Alternate Version) lyrics

1. Are you burning, little candle?
High upon the Christmas tree
Symbol of a new beginning
Faith and hope and sweet release

(chorus A)
Remind us
Of the children's faces
Full of wonder and surprise
Of the laughter in their voices,
The sweetness in their eyes
When they wake up in the morning
With the feeling in their heart
That there's joy in the air
And they know that they're a part

Shine your light on me

2. Are you shining, little star?
Shining in the skies above
Lift us up into the heavens
Symbol of the light of love

3. Are you spinning, little dreidel?
Spinning tales of long ago
Spinning past the little cradle
Tell us what we used to know

(chorus B)
Remind us
Of the children's faces
With their looks of wonder
Of the ancient old hands
And wisdom of their touch
Of the worried brows that clear
With the surprise of laughter
Of the troubled hearts that lift
With joy at the touch of love

Shine your light on me, little Star

4. Are you watching, little angel?
High above the Christmas tree
Angels all around the world
Hear us as we pray for peace

(chorus A)
Remind us
Of the children's faces
Full of wonder and surprise
Of the laughter in their voices,
The sweetness in their eyes
When they wake up in the morning
With the feeling in their heart
That there's joy in the air
And they know that they're a part

5. Are you listening, little pine tree?
Silent midst the glistening snow
Symbol of the forest stillness
Deepest joy that man can know

6. Are you singing, little children?
Singing loud and strong and clear
Singing all around the world
Sing it loud so we can hear

(chorus B)
Remind us
Of the children's faces
With their looks of wonder
Of the ancient old hands
And wisdom of their touch
Of the worried brows that clear
With the surprise of laughter
Of the troubled hearts that lift
With joy at the touch of love

Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on me

Little Candle
Little Star
Little Angel
Little Children
Shine your light on me
