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 And I caught a spark from her eyes of forgotten desire With a word or a touch, lord, 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 feeling 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 Old flames, can't hold a candle to you Those old flames can't hold a candle to you
