Downtown tonight
i saw an old friend someone who
I use to take comfort from long
before i met you
I saw a spark in his eyes
of 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
I've known one or two
But old flames cant
hold a candle to you
Sometimes at night
I think of old lovers ive known
Remember holding me helps me
I 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
I've known one or two
But old flames cant hold
a candle to you
Old flames cant hold
a candle to you
