Never Hold A Candle Lyrics - The Wilkinsons

(Steve Wilkinson/ Andrew Gold) 

When I was a young thing 

I swore a Mustang 

Would be my ticket 

To the great unknown 

Yeah I could see me 

Hanging out with royalty 

La dulce vida cruisin' Monaco 

{But sittin' here} 

Parked in your driveway 

{You're cuddled up} 

Right close beside me 

{I gotta say} 

That this old world 

Just ain't thrillin' enough 

It could never hold 

A candle to love 

Way back in grade school 

I thought Jenny was so cool 

We passed each other 

Notes in study hall 

She was my first kiss 

My heart said this must be it 

At 13 you think you know it all 

{It's nothin' but} 

Infatuation 

{It didn't last} 

Till graduation 

{I gotta say} 

Jenny Parker and a 

School boy crush 

Could never hold 

A candle to love 

Love true love knew all along 

It would find us 

It's such a sweet ride 

Just close your eyes 

And hold on tight 

{But sittin' here} 

With you tonight 

{Just holdin' hands} 

Under the moonlight 

{One kiss and I} 

I can't recall 

What I was thinkin' of 

But it could never 

Hold a candle to love 

No it could never hold 

A candle to love 

It could never hold 

A candle to love
