Helen Reddy, Candle on the Water

I'll be your candle on the water
My love for you will always burn
I know you're lost and drifting
But the clouds are lifting
Don't give up, you have somewhere to turn...

Despite remembering almost nothing else from Disney's "Pete's Dragon" (the dragon disappearing until only his floating torso was left is one moment), I do remember being captivated by this song. I had vivid memories of the lighthouse's light flickering as she sang, and I would listen to it on my compilation CD set frequently growing up.

I recently rediscovered the song, and almost instantly Sapphyre the mermaid perched upon a rock as a storm churned behind her, and that beam of light from the lighthouse on the shore caught her in its glow... It was so much fun bringing this one out of the darkness 😉
