C 
I remember well, your flashing eyes 
Am 
Soft and green as key lime pie 
F                         G                      C 
And how they filled with love when you looked at me 

C 
And the shadows upon the wall at night 
        Am 
As you danced for me by the candle light 
F             G            C 
If only once more I could see 

 

C          F          G                  C    
My candle dancer,       my young island girl 
C                  F         G               C 
Your love was the answer,      It lit up my world  
C          Dm               G         C                 F 
Though the candle light is gone, the fire still lingers on 
Dm                 G         C 
Give me one more chance?    Dance 

C 
The déjà vu of days with you 
Am 
The sun so bright, the sea so blue 
F          G                     C 
Somehow I thought it could never end 

C 
But here I am alone tonight 
Am 
Staring into the candle light 
F          G          C 
Trying so hard to pretend 


 
C                F       G                  C 
I see my candle dancer?    my young island girl 
C                 F         G               C 
Your love was the answer,     It lit up my world 
C          Dm               G         C                 F 
Though the candle light is gone, the fire still lingers on 
Dm                G          C           (intro riff) 
Give me one more chance?    Dance
