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

And I caught a spark from her eyes a forgotten desire

With a word or a touch I could have rekindled that fire

But 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

And remember how holding them helped 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
