[0-1:59.800] Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You - Merle Haggard
[00:00.550] Downtown tonight I saw an old friend someone who
[00:11.290] I use to take comfort from long before I met you
[00:23.030] I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
[00:33.480] With a word or a touch I could have rekindled that fire
[00:42.250] Old flames can't hold a candle to you
[00:53.200] No one can light up the night like you do
[01:04.420] Flickering embers of love I've known one or two
[01:15.360] But old flames can't hold a candle to you
[01:32.210] Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known
[01:43.170] I remember how holding they helped me not feel so alone
[01:54.240] Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
[02:05.100] Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn
[02:13.920] Old flames can't hold a candle to you
[02:25.020] No one can light up the night like you do
[02:36.230] Flickering embers of love I've known one or two
[02:47.160] But old flames can't hold a candle to you
[03:20.510] Flickering embers of love I've known one or two
[03:31.380] But old flames can't hold a candle to you
