Old Flame

Old Flames (Can't Hold A Candle To You)

Dolly Parton

2006-08-23

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 konwn one or two

But 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

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

But old flames can't hold a candle to you

Old flames can't hold a candle to you
