First lines

I'm very fond of candles With their quaint coquettish way, But alas! I wooed too often, And now my life's to pay.

They knew I was important When they decked the Christmas tree, Yes, they hung me on the tip-top For all the world to see.

But, alas! A lady candle Has come with me to the top, And I'm melting with affection, I'm dying drop by drop.
