On this day in 1977 {November 3rd} the Disney movie "Pete's Dragon" opened in theaters across the U.S.A. Five month later on April 13th, 1978 it premiered in Helen Reddy's native Australia... The film was nominated for two Academy Awards; "Best Score" and "Best Original Song" for 'Candle on the Water' {the winner was 'You Light Up My Life'}... R.I.P. Mr. Disney {1901 - 1966} and Ms. Reddy celebrated 72nd birthday nine days ago on October 25th...
I was just recently introduced to this song. Never had the chance to watch Pete's Dragon, growing up. And now this song means so much to me. My mom just passed a month ago and everytime I hear this it makes me think of her being my candle on the water, the stormy sea that I'm now having to find my way in. Her soul will always be there guiding me, she'll never let me go! I love you, Mom! ❤
My friend send me here because I lost and the stormy darkness bring me down and to be honest the first time hearing this I felt little and now I feel emotional and am grateful for my friend being there for me she is the only one who I can turn to and trust here a little advises from someone who depressed not everyone means, there always peoples who will be there for you, there is always hope weather you can see it or not, And last but not least suicide is not the answer because life is beautiful but if you do decide to commit suicide then I hope you find the peace you looking for as for me I will keep fighting depression until the end stay strong everyone
This is my song for my late mother. We loved watching Pete's Dragon together and I have many memories of listening to this song with her. I feel like I can hear her singing this to me from heaven.
I am listening to this with a very heavy heart right now...my beloved pet mouse, Barry Fitz, passed away a few hours ago, and I dedicate this song to him. RIP Barry Fitz...I love you and I'll see you in Heaven one day. I hope they are enjoying their new angel
Totally can relate to this my hamster was super chill and loving literally gave me kisses and I would walk around with him on my shoulder and then one morning I woke up and he died
It's Helen Reddy's birthday today. Thought I'd share, thought I don't remember this movie very well, this song stuck out and for a good reason. It's really beautiful and sweet. Great job.
As much as I love this song I can never listen to this song without bawling and my heart breaking.. my best friend went missing 13 years ago on thanksgiving and this was our song
Thursday 6th October 2022. Helen Reddy was a beautiful woman. Her soul is beside you. Always your candle on the water. Bless her and blesa you. Love from Virginia Clark.?! ;) ;( :) 😀🌍🎵💜🐋🐉🌈🌌
I remember hearing this song in a dream once and I knew it was the Lord Jesus Christ himself talking to me, using this song as a way to offer me salvation.
I had this on a Disney tape as a kid, but to this day I’ve never seen the film Pete’s Dragon. I always thought it was sung by his mother to him rather that by a woman to her lover, it always sounded like that to me.
+Joe Yaroch Agreed. I have this on DVD and have grown to love it. If they screw this up, I'm going to send them a really serious and angry rant letter.
i love ❤️ I’ll be your candle on the water by Helen reddy it’s from my Disney’s Pete’s dragon i wish it would be on my own movie Disney’s super Katie the arrive of Disney’s Encanto were mirable sees the moon 🌙 and Stars 🌟 she missed her family so much and she look’s at the candle 🕯 and she sings that song 🎵 and we saw her sing 🎵 that song 🎵 and she is really misses her family so much and we will cheer her up first thing in the morning
Has anyone found this sung by a male? My husband always sang this and passed 12/25/21 and it was going to be his song to his granddaughter at her wedding?
I always imagined this as Pamela Voorhees singing to Jason Voorhees, poor guy was bullied as a child as he had a deformity... The only one that loved him was his mother..
Remember me always, but do not grieve for me too long. I have tried always to comfort you in time of sorrow, and have made every effort to add joy to your life. I never want to cause you pain. Peace for me is certain now, and I suspect I will have eternal sleep in the earth I loved so well. Please, after your period of grieving for me, make room in your heart for another. You are the kind of human being that should always have a friend like me to love. Your kind and gentle heart should not be wasted on my memory for too long. Give your love to another. I know your new friend will never take my place, because we had something very special. You loved me very much and I loved you. My spirit will always be with you, and no matter how deep my sleep, my grateful heart will always be purring for you.
In loving memory of
Helen Reddy
(1941-2020)
I am totally in shock about Helen Reddy passing on in September. RIP Helen!

Wow! This song sums up perfectly what everyone is going through right now as we go through this Pandemic.
Helen Reddy really does this song justice, without her, this song would not have the power and the light that it has, sung by her so beautifully.
Helen reddy was the best singer and her voice was beautiful
Nah, Joe did it better
Rest in peace, dear lady. You gave us your exquisite voice. Sing in heaven!

This specific recording brings instant tears because it taps into the very best feelings of nostalgia from my childhood.
My grandfather used to sing this as a lullaby to me when I was small. He sadly passed away and this song hits close to home.
rip
Whenever I get married, my wife and I are gonna dance to this... It will be our song...
Jake Tucker lol sure
I want this to be my first dance as well :) and hope you found your woman!!
Me too
I got married in 2001...,that is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard ..I have truly loved this since childhood 1979
You are precious
This is my song for my late mother. We loved watching Pete's Dragon together and I have many memories of listening to this song with her. I feel like I can hear her singing this to me from heaven.
I wish Susan Boyle would sing this song. It would suit her so perfectly.
Melissa0774 omg yes yes yes!!!!
Oh yeah
I am listening to this with a very heavy heart right now...my beloved pet mouse, Barry Fitz, passed away a few hours ago, and I dedicate this song to him. RIP Barry Fitz...I love you and I'll see you in Heaven one day. I hope they are enjoying their new angel

This makes me cry... but Julia by The Beatles makes me sob hysterically.
I'm literally crying this song is amazing
God this brings back childhood memories.
And I got a commercial about a live action Pete's Dragon... that's not weird, especially when I hadn't seen the ad before...

Very difficult almost impossible venture find a lighthouse musicbox with this tune. I found 1 and its broke.
not to be a jerk but theres an incorrcet word in the transcription "a cold and friendless TIDE" has found you. not TIME.
I remember I had to sing this for a teacher because her mom died it was sad
my choir at school sings it. gives me memories!!!!!!!!!!!(im in the choir)
I always imagined this as Pamela Voorhees singing to Jason Voorhees, poor guy was bullied as a child as he had a deformity...
The only one that loved him was his mother..

2019 anyone?
October 1st 2019
I would love Mandy Harvey (Agt 2017 contestant) to sing this song
This makes me remember when my cat died.
Remember me always, but do not grieve for me too long.
I have tried always to comfort you in time of sorrow,
and have made every effort to add joy to your life. I
never want to cause you pain.
Peace for me is certain now, and I suspect I will have
eternal sleep in the earth I loved so well.
Please, after your period of grieving for me, make
room in your heart for another. You are the kind of
human being that should always have a friend like me
to love. Your kind and gentle heart should not be
wasted on my memory for too long. Give your love to
another. I know your new friend will never take my
place, because we had something very special.
You loved me very much and I loved you. My spirit will
always be with you, and no matter how deep my sleep,
my grateful heart will always be purring for you.
