Are You Burning Little Candle? Lyrics

Are you burning, little Candle? 
High upon the Christmas tree 
Symbol of a new beginning 
Faith and hope and sweet release  
 
remind us 
Of the children`s faces  
full of wonder and surprise 
Of the laughter in their voices,  
the sweetness in their eyes 
When they wake up in the morning  
with the feeling in their heart 
That there`s joy in the air  
and they know that they`re a part 
Shine your light on me, little Candle  
 
Are you shining, little Star? 
Shining in the skies above 
Lift us up into the heavens 
Symbol of the light of love  
 
Are you spinning, little Dreidel? 
Spinning tales of long ago 
Spinning past the little cradle 
Tell us what we used to know  
 
remind us...  
 
Are you watching, little Angel? 
High above the Christmas tree 
Angels all around the world 
Hear us as we pray for peace  
 
remind us...  
 
Are you listening, little pine tree? 
Silent midst the glistening snow 
Symbol of the forest stillness 
Deepest joy that man can know  
 
Are you singing, little Children? 
Singing loud and strong and clear 
Singing all around the world 
Sing it loud so we can hear  
 
Shine your light on me 
Little Candle, Little Star, 
Little Angel, Little Children 
Shine your light on me
