Old Flames

Old Flames

Downtown tonight, I saw an old
friend, someone who
I use to take comfort from long
before I met you
I caught a spark from his eyes 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 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
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
