Anyone know the words, more or less? I'm trying to find an appropriate English Jewish song for Zaidy to sing at my daughter's chassuna.

I know the words.

"Come with me my little child," the grandmother softly said.
"I have a present that I have been saving for a little girl just like you."
She opened a worn battered suitcase that had witnessed all the tears she had cried.
She held up so gently with hands old and shaking the gift whe'd recieved as a bride.

Chorus: Please light these candlesticks before every Shabbos,
No matter how hard it may be.
The flame that you light will ignite the generations
With a message of eternity.

Curtains drawn ever so tightly,
Lest escape a ray of light.
A young woman prays by candles burning
In the cold hostile night.

Generstions in attics and forests,
In caves and in camps of death;
Mother to daughter, one soul to another,
Kept the flame burning, the message alive.

Chorus

"Hey mom, whose candlesticks are these?
And my, they look so antique."
"Jeniffer, I don't know, perhaps they were grandma's,
The ones she would light every week.

"Just an old Jewish custom,
Gone with the ghettoes and winds,
I would say it's okay,
Why not just put them away?"

Jeniffer took those old candlesticks
And brought them to a small lonely room.
The candlesticks caught those last rays of light
On this Friday afternoon.

Placing a candle in each candlestick
And a match that leapt into a flame.
Now two little fires lit up the night,
And she heard someone calling her name.

"Jeniffer, my dear child, it's grandma so near,
Yes, it's my voice that you hear.
The treasure is yours, so priceless and true;
You're the next generation; It's all up to you."

"Yes I will light those candlesticks before every Shabbos,
No matter how hard it may be.
The flame that I light will ignite generations
With the message of eternity."

Thank you! Beautiful. Maybe not the right song for my father to sing at the wedding, but still. That was a lot for you to type!
