RITA BY CANDLELIGHT

a smoke ring flies past misty eyes

the kind that say, look out, i'm wise

i've been through guys like you before

and gave till my heart could bleed no more

a touch of blues in fragrant hues, the air surrounding just the two

of us, within the crowd alone

refreshingly dulls my sense of right from wrong, oh

and she's mellow as mountain moonshine

soft as the northern lights

warm as a first-time newlywed in afterglow at night

rita by candlelight, rita by candlelight

dash me with rays of amber bright, lighten my soul tonight

 

where's her heart now, i can't see

she looks about so aimlessly

than catches my eye so charmingly

and whispers my name, disarming me

no i don't think she's teasing now

perhaps she's not forgotten how

to trust, and share with confidence

well give me the chance, i'll be quick to make amends, oh

'cause she's mellow as mountain moonshine

soft as the northern lights

warm as a first-time newlywed in afterglow at night

rita by candlelight, rita by candlelight

dash me with rays of amber bright, lighten my soul tonight

rita by candlelight, rita by candlelight

dash me with rays of amber bright,

let soft, mellow warmth be mine tonight

'cause nothing quite makes me feel so right, oh

rita by candlelight, rita by candlelight

oh, oh, oh
