Lyrics for Song: Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You
Lyrics for Album: Great Balls Of Fire/Dolly Dolly Dolly [2007]



(Hugh Moffatt - Pebe Sebert)



Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend

someone who I use to take comfort grom long before I met you

And I caught a spark from his 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 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

Old flames can't hold a candle to you, mhm...
