Light My Candle lyrics

ROGER

What'd you forget?

MIMI

Got a light?

ROGER

I know you? --You're--

You're shivering

MIMI

It's nothing

They turned off my heat

And I'm just a little

Weak on my feet

Would you light my candle?

What are you staring at?

ROGER

Nothing

Your hair in the moonlight

You look familiar

Can you make it?

MIMI

Just haven't eaten much today

At least the room stopped spinning.

Anyway, what?

ROGER

Nothing

Your smile reminded me of-

MIMI

I always remind people of - Who is she?

ROGER

She died. Her name was April

MIMI

It's out again

Sorry about your friend

Would you light my candle?

ROGER

Well-

MIMI

Yeah, ouch!

ROGER

Oh. The wax - It's

MIMI

Dripping! I like it - between my --

ROGER

Fingers. I figured. . .

Oh, well. Goodnight.

It blew out again?

MIMI

No - I think that I dropped my stash

ROGER

I know I've seen you out and about

When I used to go out

Your candle's out

MIMI

I'm illin' -

I had it when I walked in the door

It was pure -

Is it on the floor?

ROGER

The floor?

MIMI

They say I have the best ass

Below 14th Street

Is it true?

ROGER

What?

MIMI

You're staring again.

ROGER

Oh no.

I mean you do -- Have a nice --

I mean -- You look familiar

MIMI

Like your dead girlfriend?

ROGER

Only when you smile.

But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else --

MIMI

Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club

That's where I work - I dance-

Help me look

ROGER

Yes!

They used to tie you up -

MIMI

It's a living

ROGER

I didn't recognize you

Without the handcuffs

MIMI

We could light the candle

Oh won't you light the candle

ROGER

Why don't you forget that stuff

You look like you're sixteen

MIMI

I'm nineteen - but I'm old for my age

I'm just born to be bad

ROGER

I once was born to be bad

I used to shiver like that

MIMI

I have no heat - I told you

ROGER

I used to sweat

MIMI

I got a cold

ROGER

Uh huh

I used to be a junkie

MIMI

But now and then I like to --

ROGER

Uh huh

MIMI

Feel good

ROGER

Here it -- Um --

MIMI

What's that?

ROGER

Candy bar wrapper

MIMI

We could light the candle

What'd you do with my candle?

ROGER

That was my last match

MIMI

Our eyes'll adjust.

Thank God for the moon

ROGER

Maybe it's not the moon at all

I hear that Spike Lee's shooting down

The street

MIMI

Bah humbug. . .Bah humbug

ROGER

Cold hands

MIMI

Yours too.

Big. Like my father's

You wanna dance?

ROGER

With you?

MIMI

No - with my father

ROGER

I'm Roger

MIMI

They call me

The call me Mimi
