Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You

Downtown tonight,

I saw an old friend, someone who

I used to take comfort from

Long before I met you.

I caught a spark from his eyes

A forgotten desire.

With the word or a touch

I could have rekindled that fire.

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.

Sometimes at night

I think of the lovers I've known.

Remembering them holding me

Helps me not feel so alone.

Then I feel you beside me

And even their memories are gone.

Like stars in the night

Lost in the sweet light of dawn.

And 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.

Old flames can't hold a candle to you.

hmmmm mmm mmm mmm
