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...
