She mBmoved through the fair with a smF#mile in her eyes
So pGure and grDaceful and frAee
And cBmaught the attention of Gone who was there
A CDandlestick-maker, hAe
HGandsome and young, a crDaftsman fine
SmAitten by her that daBmy
And sGo then he wrote down a pDoem for her that would sAsus4ay A
"TDake mAe in your hGands tonDight
CGome through the pDarlour by cEmandlelAight
WDith thAee I will wGait this nDight
ChGase away shDadows and stEmay 'til the mAorning is nDighDsus2" D
But the jBmourney of love is a rF#mocky road
And cGomes with mDany a spAill
He wBmooed and pursued her for mGore than a year
And thDen she said I wAill
He mGade her a gift of a cDandlestick
AOn their wedding dBmay
And wrGitten in silver arDound in the words, that did sAsus4ay A
"TDake mAe in your hGands tonDight
CGome through the pDarlour by cEmandlelAight
WDith thAee I will wGait this nDight
ChGase away shDadows and stEmay 'til the mAorning is nDighDsus2" D

That cBmandlestick was so much lF#moved and admired
But hGundreds of yDears would go bAy
'Twas thBmere in an old CuriGosity shop
I fDound it, forgotten by tAime
BlGackened with age but sDoon to shine
BAeauty from long agBmo
And I Goften consider all thDose who have held it befAsus4ore A
"TDake mAe in your hGands tonDight
CGome through the pDarlour by cEmandlelAight
WDith thAee I will wGait this nDight
ChGase away shDadows and stEmay 'til the mAorning is nDigh A
"TDake mAe in your hGands tonDight
CGome through the pDarlour by cEmandlelAight
WDith thAee I will wGait this nDight
ChGase away shDadows and stEmay 'til the mAorning is nDighA G D
ChGase away shDadows and stEmay 'til the mAorning is nDigh"
