Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Firewood and candles
On a winter Friday night
Waiting for my sweetheart
I wanna set the scene just right
Wine in the bottles
Paella cooking in the pan
Elvis on the stereo
I'm a man with a plan
[Verse 2]
Firewood and candles
Giving off a lovely light
When she knocks upon my door
I hope she's got an appetite
[Verse 3]
We're gonna shut out the world
Forget about the TV news
Firewood and candles
Tonight, they're gonna see us through
[Verse 4]
We're gonna talk a little
We're gonna kiss a little and then some more
A whole lot more
I'm gonna show her I love her
Below and above her and a whole lot more
[Verse 5]
Firewood and candles
Making shadows on the wall
Is that the Gods come to Earth
Or a mule kicking in a stall?
[Verse 6]
Making all these memories
Forever gonna keep us warm
When firewood and candles
Disappear in the storm
[Verse 7]
Yeah, we talk a little
We kiss a little and then some more
A whole lot more
Oh, she knows I love her
Below and above her and a whole lot more
[Verse 8]
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
