Old Flames

Downtown tonight, I saw an old flame someone who
 I used to take comfort from long before I met you
 I caught a spark from her eye of forgotten desire
 With a word or a touch 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 the lovers I've known
 And I remember how holding them
 Helped me not feel so alone
 Then I feel you beside me, and even their memories are gone
 Like the stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn
 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 the 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
 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
 Old flames can't hold a candle to you
 No one can light up the night like you do
