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 (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
Old flames can't hold the candle to you
