Candle In the Rain - Lenny LeBlanc

Back in the summer of '69, in the hills of Tennessee

Tommy had a girl and her name was Sue

And they dreamed of a family

The Vietnam was ragin'

And when it came his turn to go

With tears in her eyes

She said goodbye

But Tommy had let her go

But love is not a candle in the rain

When other lights have faded

It will still remain

And years of stormy weather

Can’t put out the flame

'Cause love is not a candle in the rain

Three long years she waited

And still the fire burned

But a letter said he was missin'

Never to return

With a single spark of hope

And faith in God above

The whole world was against her

But she would not give up

'Cause love is not a candle in the rain

When other lights have faded

It will still remain

And years of stormy weather

Can’t put out the flame

'Cause love is not a candle in the rain

Then one rainy night, there was a stranger at her door

He held her close and he said the words she’d been prayin' for

Love is not a candle in the rain

When other lights have faded

It will still remain

And years of stormy weather

Can’t put out the flame

'Cause love is not a candle in the rain

No, years of stormy weather

Can’t put out the flame

'Cause love is not a candle… in the rain
