Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who -
I used to take comfort from long before I met you
and I caught a spark from her eyes of forgotten desire
with a word or a touch, lord, I could have rekindled that fire

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

Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known

I remember how holding them helped me not feeling 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

Those old flames can't hold a candle to you
