Dolly Parton — Old Flames Cant Hold a Candle to You

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 Old flames can't hold a candle to you [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 Old flames can't hold a candle to you
