Old Flames (Can't Hold a Candle to You)

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
