Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You (Remastered) - Dolly Parton

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 (D7)eyes a 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
