I almost lit a candle, the other night, while I was getting romantic, with my wife
But you've ruined all of that for me, in my life
One look at that flame, and the melting wax, and I just can't stop those memories, from coming back
Red, white, and blue, melting wax, and me and you, maybe some brown mixed in there too
And they each had their own special scent, girl do you remember, how much it meant?
It meant so much, because it was a product of me and you
Just something that we both, liked to do, making love, while our creation grew
That ceramic vase you found, broken handle and a chip or two
But just right for what you had in mind to do
So you had me glue a plate to the top of it, pretty soon we had three candles lit
Red white and blue, three little flames, and me and you, holding hands, and praying to heaven
Lord our country needs your help right now, and that was just after nine-eleven
But time goes on, and we did too, while our creation just grew, and grew
Night after night in each others arms, how could everything have gone so wrong?
Too many beers, and too many tears
We cleaned up the mess, the morning after it got busted, but things were never quite the same
I guess we lost the flame
I couldn't stop the drinking, but neither could you
All I can say is, I'm sorry Sue
So sorry about me and you
