Back in the summer of '69, in the hills of Tennessee
Tommy had a girl and her name was Sue
And they dreamed of a family
The Vietnam was ragin'
And when it came his turn to go
With tears in her eyes
She said goodbye
But Tommy had let her go
But love is not a candle in the rain
When other lights have faded
It will still remain
And years of stormy weather
Can't put out the flame
'Cause love is not a candle in the rain
Three long years she waited
And still the fire burned
But a letter said he was missin'
Never to return
With a single spark of hope
And faith in God above
The whole world was against her
But she would not give up
'Cause love is not a candle in the rain
When other lights have faded
It will still remain
And years of stormy weather
Can't put out the flame
'Cause love is not a candle in the rain
Then one rainy night, there was a stranger at her door
He held her close and he said the words she'd been prayin' for
Love is not a candle in the rain
When other lights have faded
It will still remain
And years of stormy weather
Can't put out the flame
'Cause love is not a candle in the rain
No, years of stormy weather
Can't put out the flame
'Cause love is not a candle... in the rain
