I found this old-fashioned song lyric written by Carroll Kiphen a few days ago in Facebook. I though it needed a simple, catchy, old-fashioned melody to go with it so I composed and recorded this track. I really like what it sounds like. But I sure wish I could sing better. Here is “Candle Light and Wine”.

CANDLE LIGHT AND WINE
Verse
I struck a match and lit a candle
A soft glow filled the room
Like the halo round my angel’s head
Or big old harvest moon.
It had been quite a drive to get here;
A long, long way to go
But I wanted the peace and quiet;
A place for love to grow.
Chorus
Back here in the woods
Forgotten by time
You and I alone
Candle light and wine.
No interruptions
No one dropping by
Just the two of us
Candle light and wine.
Verse
I put some wood inside the fireplace
A bearskin on the floor.
I came looking for peace and quiet
But we found so much more.
It’s been a long hard road to get here
But love’s come back to us.
We just needed time
To find ourselves
And reestablish trust.
Chorus
Bridge
We reminisced for hours
Had a grand old time.
We fell in love all over
Candle light and wine.
Chorus
Lyrics: Carroll Kiphen
Music, instruments & vocals: Robert Baitinger

Hey Gavin,
I’m glad you liked the song!
When my wife heard it she asked me: “Who has bearskin rugs in front of their fireplace theses days?” and my son looked at me and asked “who still uses the term “grand old time””? You know, I guess it’s exactly these little things that make Carroll’s lyrics so interesting. Here in Germany, they’d say it’s so old-fashioned that it’s iconic, hip or cool.
Thanks for your suggestion. I’ll try it out.
All the best
Robert

I suppose I’m sort of a relic myself at this point. I’m sure the lines could be changed.

Well it does say
To a place lost in time.
