lyrics

Eight nights I’ve been missing you
Wondering if you too were watching the candles burn down
If you were around, would you hold me
Would you know me anymore

It’s the time of year when I get bitter
You should be here but you needed your space
The smell of latkes cooking has only got me looking
Out for signs you changed your mind
You’ll come back to me again

Cause for eight nights (eight nights) I’ve been missing you (miss you)
Wondering if you too (you too) were watching the candles burn down (burn down)
If you were around (around), would you hold me
Would you know me anymore

Sitting round the table spinning dreidels
My smile just fades all my thoughts are with you
And are you with your family, do you still talk about the
Fun we had, let’s bring it back
You know what to do

Cause for eight nights (eight nights) I’ve been missing you (miss you)
Wondering if you too (you too) were watching the candles burn down (burn down)
If you were around (around), would you hold me
Would you know me anymore
Eight nights (eight nights) I’ve been missing you (miss you)
Wondering if you too (you too) were watching the candles burn down (burn down)
If you were around (around), would you hold me
Would you know me
Would you fix the way you broke me
With sufganiyot and the lights off
Honey trust me, we could make up
I’ve been waiting for you baby
All year long

(Eight nights)
(Miss you)
(You too)
Oh, yeah
And if you're sure now baby
We'll sing Maoz Tzur my baby, yeah
