I've been on my knees for evenings on end
With only a sparkle of hope in my hand
Praying and hoping my wish will come true
Praying that somehow my fate is with you
The candles gone out, on my bed there I lie
It's not the sandman's sand in my eye
It's just the dust from the tears that I cried
When once again the hope in me died
So under the full moon's white bright light
I light this last candle of hope tonight
And then when its fire of hope dies away
For me too this day will be the last day
