(steve wilkinson/ andrew gold)
When i was a young thing
I swore a mustang
Would be my ticket
To the great unknown
Yeah i could see me
Hanging out with royalty
La dulce vida cruisin' monaco
{but sittin' here}
Parked in your driveway
{you're cuddled up}
Right close beside me
{i gotta say}
That this old world
Just ain't thrillin' enough
It could never hold
A candle to love
Way back in grade school
I thought jenny was so cool
We pa**ed each other
Notes in study hall
She was my first kiss
My heart said this must be it
At 13 you think you know it all
{it's nothin' but}
Infatuation
{it didn't last}
Till graduation
{i gotta say}
Jenny parker and a
School boy crush
Could never hold
A candle to love
Love true love knew all along
It would find us
It's such a sweet ride
Just close your eyes
And hold on tight
{but sittin' here}
With you tonight
{just holdin' hands}
Under the moonlight
{one kiss and i}
I can't recall
What i was thinkin' of
But it could never
Hold a candle to love
No it could never hold
A candle to love
It could never hold
A candle to love
