Lyrics
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 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
Flickerin' embers of love, I've known one or two
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known
I remember how holdin' them helped me not feel so alone (feel so alone)
When 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
Flickerin' embers of love, I've known one or two
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Mm-mm-mm
