Downtown tonight,
I saw an old friend, someone who
I used to take comfort from
Long before I met you
I caught a spark from his eyes
A forgotten desire
With the word or a touch
I could have rekindled that fire.
An old flame, 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
An old flame, 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 a candle to you
hmmmm mmm mmm mmm
