I Light My Shabbos Candles by Yehudis Roesnthal
Sparkling bright It’s Friday night I light my Shabbos candles.
Sparkling bright It’s Friday night I light my Shabbos candles.
Darkness permeating the air Engulfing, drawing in Dejection and despair;
Friday rushed by Full of running and cooking And cleaning
As the week goes by, I sit in the tall
I bring my hands toward me, the wrinkles she does
I see my candle glowing bright, As it shines so
BS"D Adon Olam, one of the tefillos we recite in
A woman looks ahead, Tears glistening in her eyes, Gives
Every woman is a special candle Waiting to be lit
BS"D As the wick is caught With the fiery flame
