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

I caught a spark from his 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

I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone (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

But old flames can't hold a candle to you
