Are you burning, little candle?   High upon the Christmas tree   Symbol of a new beginning   Faith and hope and sweet release      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, little candle      Are you shining, little star?   Shining in the skies above   Lift us up into the heavens   Symbol of the light of love      Are you spinning, little dreidel?   Spinning tales of long ago   Spinning past the little cradle   Tell us what we used to know      Remind us   Of the children's faces   Full of wonder and surprise   Of the laughter in their voices   The sweetness in their eyes      Are you watching, little angel?   High above the Christmas tree   Angels all around the world   Hear us as we pray for peace      Remind us   Of the children's faces   Full of wonder and surprise   Of the laughter in their voices   The sweetness in their eyes      Are you listening, little pine tree?   Silent midst the glistening snow   Symbol of the forest stillness   Deepest joy that man can know      Are you singing, little children?   Singing loud and strong and clear   Singing all around the world   Sing it loud so we can hear      Shine your light on me   Little candle, little star   Little angel, little children   Shine your light on me
