Lyrics
Who can compare to the beauty of the Shabbos Queen
Candles of love everywhere, welcoming her in
Through the crack in the door, we see a spark, feel the breeze
Her love is as sweet as the honey we eat

Chorus One
Right from the start
You captured my heart
You’re my Shabbos Queen
Right from the start
You captured my heart
You’re my Shabbos Queen
If you know what I mean

Wisdom has built her house; she has prepared a Shabbos feast
Why don’t you come and eat of my food and drink of the wine I have mixed
Give up simpleness and live and walk in understanding
Happy is the man who finds favor with the King

Chorus Two
Candles of love, flames of light
Eat and drink deep my love
Once asleep now my heart’s awake
The Shabbos Queen is my delight
If you know what I mean


My heart is saddened as the stars light up the darkened sky
My darling, my love, it’s almost time for us to say goodbye
Your presence leaves me with the fragrance of the spice
You are the seal on my heart, a blazing flame of fire

Chorus
Right from the start
You captured my heart
You’re my Shabbos Queen
Right from the start
You captured my heart
You’re my Shabbos Queen
No river can drown it
No money can buy it
No flood can quench it
Right from the start
You captured my heart
With once glance of your eye
Right from the start
You captured my heart
You’re my Shabbos Queen
