The light emitting melody candle includes a heat conductive wire, which transfers heat of the wick towards the bottom of the candle body when the candle body is lit, and a sensing unit, which is provided in the candle stand and is in contact with the heat conductive wire to detect heat transferred through the heat conductive wire. The light emitting melody candle further includes a light generating means, which generates light when the sensing unit detects heat, a control unit, which is provided in the candle stand to control the light generating means, and a light transmitting means, which is provided between the candle body and the candle stand to evenly transmit light therebetween.
