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 cant hold a candle to you No one can light up the night like you do Flickering embers of love Ive known one or two But old flames cant hold a candle to you Sometimes at night Ithink of old lovers Ive 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 cant hold a candle to you No one can light up the night like you do Flickering embers of love Ive known one or two But old flames cant hold a candle to you Old flames cant hold a candle to you
