Old Flames

Downtown tonight, I saw an old flame someone who I used to take comfort from long before I met you I caught a spark from her eye of 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 the lovers I've known And I remember how holding them Helped me not feel so alone Then I feel you beside me, and even their memories are gone Like the stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn 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 the 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 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 Old flames can't hold a candle to you No one can light up the night like you do
