Downtown tonight, I saw
an old friend someone who

I use to take comfort from

long before I met you
And I caught a spark from his eyes

offorgotten desire
With a word or a touch,

I could have rekindled that fire
offorgotten desire

With a word or a touch,

I could have rekindled that fire
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

my night like you do
Flickering embers oflove,

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
INSTRUMENTAL
Sometimes at night,

I think of old lovers I've known

I remember how holding them

made me not feel so alone
Then I feel you beside me and
even their memories are gone
And like stars in the night

lost in the sweet light of dawn
even their memories are gone

And like stars in the night

lost in the sweet light of dawn
And like stars in the night

lost in the sweet light of dawn
Old flames can't hold
a candle to you

No one can light up

the night like you do
No one can light up

the night like you do
Flickering embers oflove,
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
INSTRUMENTAL
Flickering embers oflove,
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
can't hold a candle to you
