Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You
Downtown tonight,
I saw an old friend, someone who
I use to take comfort from
Long before I met you
And I caught a spark
In her eyes of forgotten desire
And with a word, or a touch,
I could have rekindled that fire.
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
And no one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you.
Sometimes at night,
I think of old lovers I've known
And remember how holding them
made me not feel so alone
Then I feel you beside me
And even their memories are gone
And like stars in the night
lost in the sweet light of dawn
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
Bridge
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
No.
