old flames can t hold a candle to you

Dolly Parton

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 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
Mmmm...
