Kesha, Dolly Parton - Old Flames (Can’t Hold a Candle to You) lyrics

Ooh

Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend
Someone who i used to take comfort from
Long before I met you
I caught a spark in his
Eyes of forgotten desire
With a word or a touch
I could have 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
Then I feel you beside me and
Even their memories are gone
Like stars in the night
Lost in the sweet light of dawn oh, oh

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
But old flames can't hold a candle to you

Oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, yeah
Can't hold a candle to you, candle to you
Old flames, old flames
Old flames, old flames
Can't hold a candle to you
