"Lighting Up The Candles" sadly Stevie played this song for the first time in 1984, at the funeral of Marvin Gaye. Just compose, and movingly portrayed in honor of one of the great soul music of all time. Years later -1991- was rescued to form part of the soundtrack of Spike Lee's film "Jungle Fever".

Lighting Up The Candles

Lyrics

Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love

Lighting up the candles
To what use to be
Tender memories in moments of love
Happy times and bad times
All seem wonderful
When you have a toast to moments of love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love

Lighting up the candles
To what use to be
Tender memories in moments of love
Happy times and bad times
All seem wonderful
When you have a toast to moments of love

I really think we could have made it
To that forever and a day
But destiny and fate decided
They would get in our way

Lighting up the candles
Wishing you the best
Like the happiness in moments of love
For lighting up the candles
Spark the memories
Helping us to see more moments of love
I really think we could have made it
To that forever and a day
But destiny and fate decided
They would get in our way
For lighting up the candles
Spark the memories
Helping us to see the need for what was
Helping us to see more moments of love

Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love
