The Light Was Worth the Candle

Of the many gifts I've received in my life The finest are the ones money can't buy Not long ago, my father gave such a gift to me When he shared these words that made me cry Son, the light was worth the candle The warmth was worth the cold The conversation worth the wine And what I've learned has been worth growing old If I leave this world tomorrow Happily, I can say The light was worth the candle At the end of the day Give it all you've got Whatever you do, trust your heart The journey's worth more Much more than the gold Remember when you're reaching Reaching so high for the prize Keep your feet on the ground And hold on to your soul, oh-oh-oh Hold on to your soul For the light was worth the candle The warmth was worth the cold The conversation worth the wine And what I've learned has been worth growing old If I leave this world tomorrow Happily, I can say The light was worth the candle At the end of the day
