Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You Lyrics - The Essential Dolly Parton, Vol. 1 - Dolly Parton

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 (D7)eyes a 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 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
