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

I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire

With a 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 old lovers I've known

I remember how holding them helped 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

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

Mmmm...
