You kept the fires burning when I swore   The flame had long gone out   You took me by the hand when I stumbled   Through the shadows of doubt   When I was lost and found   And somewhere in between   You were always there dusting off my dreams      Chorus:   So I wanna thank you for the candle in the window   For heart light that always shines   And always leads me home   For the solid rock foundation   For your faith and inspiration   There's no way I can express my gratitude   Still, I thank you      It's true, I wont deny that we've shared   Too many long goodbyes   But you're always right there in my heart   And I pray a part of me remains behind   Oh, it's true they're just two words and nothing but   And it seems nobody says them near enough      Chorus:   So I wanna thank you for the candle in the window   For the heart light that always shines   And always leads me home   For the solid rock foundation   For your faith and inspiration   There's no way I can express my gratitude   But still, I thank you      For the heart light that always shines   That always leads me home   For your solid rock foundation   For your faith and inspiration   There's no way I can express gratitude   There's no way I can express gratitude   Still, I thank you   I thank you
