Lyrics for Song: Old Flames (Can't Hold a Candle to You)
Lyrics for Album: Essential
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
I use 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 canÂ’t hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
IÂ’ve known one or two
But old flames canÂ’t hold a candle to you
Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers IÂ’ve known
I remember how holding them 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
Old flames canÂ’t hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
IÂ’ve known one or two
But old flames canÂ’t hold a candle to you
Old flames canÂ’t hold a candle to you
Mmmm...
