Classic Rock/soft rock/slow rock

Question
This sounds even too vague for me to ask but have wondered for years. In the late 70's (prior to 79) I heard a soft rock or slow song that mentioned a candle or light in the window..any thoughts?

Answer
  There is one song that immediately comes to mind.   It is called "Long as I can see the Light"  by Creedence Clearwater Revival.   
 It is not a late seventies song, so it may not be the one you are looking for.  They broke up in 1971.  But the song may have been released as a single much later.  
 If that is not the song, please let me know and I will see if I can research it a little.  
 I hope this helps.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
