Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You
Dolly Parton · 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...
