Pebe Sebert - Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You lyrics

[Verse 1] Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who I use to take comfort from long before I met you I saw a spark in his eyes of forgotten desire With a word, or a touch, I could've rekindled that fire [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known Remember 'em holding them helps me not feel so alone And I feel you beside me, and even their memories are gone Like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn [Chorus] But old flames can't hold a candle to you No one can light up the night like you do Flickering embers of love Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two Old flames can't hold a candle to you, mmm
