Both Ends Of The Candle - Willie Nelson, Buck Owens

I’ve been trying so hard to forget you

But this chore of forgetting I find

Has me burning both ends of the candle

And fighting a battle with time

What I’d give just to sleep for a moment

But it’s a luxury that I can’t afford

For I know that I just dream about you

And my tears would start falling once more

So I’m burning both ends of the candle

I just hope that it lasts through the night

For each moment the candle is burning

Brings closer the ending of life

So I’m burning both ends of the candle

I just hope that it lasts through the night

For each moment the candle is burning

It brings closer the ending of life
