Light a Candle in the Chapel
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the closing of each day
Keep it burning while you're yearning
For the one who went away
Say a pray'r and ask the angel
To guide and to watch from above
Light a candle in the chapel
Say a pray'are and ask the angel
To guide and to watch from above
Light a candle in the chapel
For the one you love
The Rat Pack's song Light a Candle in the Chapel is a poignant ballad with a melancholic tone. The lyrics implore the listener to light a candle in the chapel at the end of each day and keep it burning while yearning for the one who went away. The song talks about asking the angel to guide and watch from above, and also mentions saying prayers. It is a song of longing and hopelessness as the singer is unable to get over the one who left and finds solace in lighting a candle in the chapel.
The song is a perfect blend of romance, heartbreak, and spirituality. The Rat Pack's delivery of the song is haunting and evocative, further enhancing the emotional impact of the lyrics. It is a song that resonates with anyone who has loved and lost and continues to hold on to hope.

Light a candle in the chapel
Ignite a candle within the church building
At the closing of each day
As the time of day comes to an end
Keep it burning while you're yearning
Leave the candle alight while you feel the sadness and longing
For the one who went away
In memory of the person who left
Say a pray'r and ask the angel
Speak a prayer and request guidance and protection from the divine messenger
To guide and to watch from above
To lead and keep watch from a higher place
Light a candle in the chapel
Ignite a candle within the church building
For the one you love
In memory and love for the departed
Say a pray'are and ask the angel
Speak a prayer and request guidance and protection from the divine messenger
To guide and to watch from above
To lead and keep watch from a higher place
Light a candle in the chapel
Ignite a candle within the church building
For the one you love
In memory and love for the departed

One of CCR's most underrated songs and arguably their only one that could be considered a ballad. JC Fogerty's raspy vocals are at his best, his sax solo is incredible, and the overall arrangement is perfect. Simply CCR at their very best.
