Dolly Parton – Old Flames Cant Hold A Candle To You Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:48 Second

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 D7eyes a forgotten desire
With a word or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire

But old flames, cant hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love, Ive known one or two
But old flames, cant hold a candle to you

Sometimes at night I think of old lovers Ive 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, cant hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love, Ive known one or two
But old flames, cant hold a candle to you
