Song written by Andie when she was about 14 or 15. It was long lost, until friend found the lyrics and made a recording as near to the original melody as she could remember. (thank you Samantha). When Chris gets home I will ask him to rip the song from the CD and I will post up a link.

The Candle
By Francesca Zancani (Andie Robbins)

When you have no hope for tomorrow
And the tears do overflow
I will trade my joy for your sorrow
I will not ever let you go

When the dark is all around you
I won't run away in the night
I'll be there my love will surround you
My candle keeps burning bright

When Death's icy glare has found you
and you fear that you might fall
I am there, I'm all around you
I'm a light shining through it all

I nurture your dreams of a new day
You will stretch your wings to the sky
And as I've known from the begining
You will leave when you can fly

I still love you though you have left me
My candle keeps burning bright
You forsook me, you bereft me
You ran away in the night

I have not been able to find any of the other songs she wrote. I do remember they were very Tori Amos -like.


There is also a song or 2 written about Andie after her passing, but I cannot find them either.
