Colored Candles from Destiny Volume 1 Eli Nathan Jewish Music Lyrics Chanukah Song

From his block of rolling lawns and fancy cars
He was so proud that he'd come so far
With the greatest of ease, he moved through high society
That grocer’s boy from the city streets

Well he’d long since gone and changed his name
It was the only way that he could play the game
With the neighbors like the Richardsons, the Williams and the Jones,

 What could he do with a name like Cohen

But he had one memory,
Yes his father he did see
Lighting colored candles on the window sill
Eight days a year he'd light
Another candle every night
It lingered in his memory still

In December came home from school his little girl called Sue
She held a picture of an x-mas tree she drew
All the kids in my class have one she said with a tear,
And could we have one in our home this year

He didn't know what to do
With his little daughter Sue
Although her desires he wished to fulfill
"My dear Sue listen to me,
There's something better than a tree,
It lingers in my memory still"

The next day he came home from work with a menorah in his hand
His dear wife said to him "Joe! I just don’t understand,
We've worked so hard to get to where we are today,
And now what will we do? What will the neighbors say?

But he light those candles anyway, yes there were 5 that night
And from his window to the street glowed the candle light
They were burning for an hour maybe a little more
When suddenly Mr. Richardson stood there by the door

He said would it be ok if a word to you I’d say
There's something about those candles you must know
Yes they bring back memories, of my father I still see
As he light those candles many years ago

He stepped outside on that night and boy was he surprised!
He couldn't believe what he saw he couldn't believe his eyes
From all the houses on the block glowed candle light
From their window sills and out unto the night

Yes they had one memory
Yes their father's they did see
Lighting colored candles on the window sill
Eight days a year they'd light
Another candle every night
It lingered in their memory still

The King of Tony's Jewish Music Lyrics from Destiny by Eli Nathan performed by Gershon Veroba

King of Tony’s

In the dimly lit pool hall clouds of smoke hung low

As the smell of leather jackets mixed with cheap cologne

Leaning on a table a young man in his teens,

sharp eyes, skilled hands, pool cue, and designer jeans.

But there’s another table, decked out in satin white

With an empty place by father’s side on this Friday night

And mother’s waiting hopefully by the window sill

For Dovi boy who's shootin' pool in Tony’s Bar and Grill

Where have you gone? Gone so far?

We still love you even though you may be far,

Far away…

Super cool and accurate he’d win and never lose

Everyone at Tony’s knows him as the King of the Cues

As mother’s praying silently, who will save his soul?

Dovi shoots a backspin to a tune of Billy Joel.

Sometimes late at night he sits back inside the haze

Thinking of the times gone by, those old yeshiva days

He remembers them quite clearly, it was the when he turned 15

Those sharp, warm, embracing eyes of his rebbe, Rabbi Green.

Dovi, he could hear him say. You’ll be a Talmid Chochom, one day …

Where have you gone?………

Stranger entered Tony’s, late one Sunday night

Rack ‘em up he said, I’m gonna beat the king tonight

Wearing cowboy boots, a cowboy hat and talking really mean

But in the dim smoky light his face could not be seen

Shot after shot, boy, this guy was no fake

Dovi started sweatin' his reputation was at stake

The stranger had one easy shot left to win the game

Dovi knew he’d lose and things would never be the same

An amazing thing then happened, the stranger missed the shot

The crowd thought it was an accident Dovi knew that it was not

This guy had given him the game but why he wished he knew

Dovi pulled away from the cheering crown and said:

Hey thanks man, but who are you?

The stranger said perhaps it would be best to step outside

So they made their way out through the crowd to the street and to the light

And Dovi saw him stare at him with eyes he once had seen

The sharp embracing stare, the eyes of Rabbi Green

The two of them stood silently looking into each other’s eyes

Dovi was the first one to break the ice

Hey Rebbe, that was the meanest game of pool I ever did see

But what made you come here on this night to play - a bum like me

Dovi the Rebbe said, you’re no bum, ‘cause I know you and where you’re coming from

It’s never too late to change, don’t you see... The King of Tony’s was once me!

There’s a yeshiva out of town, now a source of pride and fame

The Rosh Yeshiva’s a Talmid Chacham, Reb Dov is his name

And during recess there’s a pool table where students like to play

But no one’s beat the Rosh Yeshiva till this very day.
