[Intro]
In bed, at night
It just depends on life, baby
Oh-whoa oh

[Verse 1]
Lonely in bed, at night
And it never feels right
I toss and turn, each night
Till the morning light
But just the thought of you
Sends chills up and down my spine, yeah
Just knowing you'll be here real soon
Makes everything alright, candlelight

[Chorus]
Candlelight
It makes it special
Me and you
On a rare occasion
Candlelight a special night
Seeing you is a sweet sensation (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Memories of you, yeah
In your arms, babe
Squeezing me close to your heart
The shadows in the dark, baby
Of you kissing every part
And knowing we can share it all
And still be, still be free
For each and every happy moment
Will last for eternity, ooh baby

[Chorus]
Candlelight
It makes it special (Being with you)
Me and you (Oh-oh)
On a rare occasion (Tonight, yeah)
Candlelight a special night (Holding you, baby)
Seeing you is a sweet sensation (Yeah, I wanna hold you)
Candlelight (I wanna feel you)
It makes it special (You belong to me)
Me and you
On a rare occasion (I wanna hold you, babe)
Candlelight a special night (I wanna feel you all over, I do)
Seeing you is a sweet sensation (Yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
My love for you
Will never fade away
I'll save a special spot for you, baby
Always
Don't you know my heart
Has made for you
A special place?
Oh, don't you know it?
Don't you know I'm all yours, baby?
You can call on me
When you want me
When you want me
I'm here for you

[Chorus]
Candlelight
It makes it special (Baby, baby)
Me and you
On a rare occasion (Oh yeah, let's play young with you tonight)
Candlelight a special night (Oh-oh yeah)
Seeing you is a sweet sensation (Baby, baby, baby, I wanna hold you)
Candlelight (I wanna feel you)
It makes it special (You belong to me tonight)
Me and you
On a rare occasion (I wanna hold you close to my heart, babe)
Candlelight a special night (You kiss so lovely)
Seeing you is a sweet sensation (Every single time, you are mine tonight)
Candlelight
It makes it special (Just shadows in the dark)
Me and you
On a rare occasion (Oh, let me make you feel good)
Candlelight a special night (Let me make you feel good)
Seeing you is a sweet sensation (Sensual loving, that goes tonight, tonight, me and you)
Candlelight
It makes it special
