Downtown tonight i saw
an old friend someone
who I use to take comfort
from long before i met
you I saw a spark
from his eyes 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 old
lovers i've known I remember
how holding me 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 Mmmm
