Candlelight Christmas
folk, Warm acoustic ballad with fingerpicked guitar, soft felted piano, and a bed of gentle strings, Slow, swaying tempo; intimate male vocals close to the mic, Verses stay minimal—mostly guitar and piano—then the chorus blooms with subtle string swells and stacked harmonies, Light brushes on a kit near the final chorus, with a tender rubato outro that fades like a fireplace ember, heartfelt, gentle, acoustic, slow, ballad, soft, warm

Lyrics
Verse 1
Mug on the table
Steam in the air
Snow on the window
Your hand in my hair
Quiet December
Clock barely ticks
You hum a carol
Our hearts in the mix
Chorus
Candlelight Christmas
Soft on your face
All of the world feels
So far from this place
Hold me a little
Longer than last year
Candlelight Christmas
I'm just grateful you're here
Verse 2
Slippers on hardwood
Old woven throw
Gift tags and ribbons
Scattered below
You read the card slow
Eyes start to shine
Nothing expensive
Just glad you're mine
Chorus
Bridge
Outside the houses glow
Inside the time moves slow
If every night could fall
Gentle as this
I'd ask for nothing more
Than one more sip
One more kiss
Chorus
