Can’t Hold a Candle               Larry Dunn © ‘11

 Intro
Everything can change once there’s money in the game
It can come between family, leave friendship consumed in flame
There are those that lust for gain, that will cross any line
As if money makes the world go round and the stars in heaven shine
Chorus
Big diamonds, a fat bankroll
Can’t buy true love can’t save your soul
Priceless possessions alone won’t do
Can’t hold a candle next to you
Verse
Just another pretty face
With gilded strings attached couldn’t take your place
Without you there by me
I know how empty this world would be
You’re the rock I lean on when my strength is gone
You’re the satin hinge my love swings on
Chorus
Big diamonds are not enough
Can’t hold a candle to your sweet love
Priceless possessions alone won’t do
Can’t hold a candle next to you
Solo
Verse
Gold and silver can’t sing the song
That can ease a troubled mind when love’s gone wrong
Can’t replace the trust that must be earned
Once that bond is broken and the bridge is burned
Some measure life by the money they’ve got
But in the end what really matters can’t be bought
1st Chorus
Outro
Big diamonds…are not enough
Gold and silver…can’t hold a candle to your love
Can’t hold a candle to your love
