Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who I used 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've 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 Oh, yeah, ooh
But sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known And I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone (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 Flickerin' embers of love I've known one or two But old flames can't hold a candle to you But old flames can't hold a candle to you Oh, yeah
