Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You - The Osborne Brothers

Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who

I used to take comfort from long before I met you

I caught a spark in his eyes of forgotten desire

With a word, or a touch, I could’ve 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

Oh, yeah, ooh

But sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I’ve known

And 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

Oh, but old flames can’t hold a candle to you

No one can light up the night like you do

Flickerin' embers of love

I’ve known one or two

But old flames can’t hold a candle to you

But old flames can’t hold a candle to you

Oh, yeah
