[Dolly Parton - Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle to You lyrics]
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
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
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
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
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
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
