One of your favourite things

When you let the moment go out
Like a candle flame
Did you think it would be better
To light it up again

Or was the darkness better than
The brightness of the flame

Send me one of your favourite
Things for me to keep

I can hold it close to my face
In the night when I sleep

When you called in all our memories
And sent them all to bed
Did you think it would be better
To leave some things unsaid

Or was the silence better than
The noises in your head

Send me one of your favourite
Things for me to keep

I can hold it close to my face
In the night when I sleep
