My Foolishness Shines Through
As I light the candle here
and look into the flame,
I wonder where you are tonight,
if thoughts of me you overcame.

All the things we ever did
drift into my mind.
I feel a little smile come,
it's a smile and tears combined.

It was so very long ago,
you felt you had to go.
There was nothing I could do.
I just let you fly away, you know.

So now I really understand.
Our love just wasn't true.
You didn't fly back home to me.

In the flame,

my foolishness shines through!
