Never Hold A Candle

When I was a young thing

I swore a Mustang

Would be my ticket

To the great unknown

Yeah I could see me

Hanging out with royalty

La dulce vida cruisin' Monaco

{But sittin' here}

Parked in your driveway

{You're cuddled up}

Right close beside me

{I gotta say}

That this old world

Just ain't thrillin' enough

It could never hold

A candle to love

Way back in grade school

I thought Jenny was so cool

We passed each other

Notes in study hall

She was my first kiss

My heart said this must be it

At 13 you think you know it all

{It's nothin' but}

Infatuation

{It didn't last}

Till graduation

{I gotta say}

Jenny Parker and a

School boy crush

Could never hold

A candle to love

Love true love knew all along

It would find us

It's such a sweet ride

Just close your eyes

And hold on tight

{But sittin' here}

With you tonight

{Just holdin' hands}

Under the moonlight

{One kiss and I}

I can't recall

What I was thinkin' of

But it could never

Hold a candle to love

No it could never hold

A candle to love

It could never hold

A candle to love
