Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
G                                             C
I used to take comfort from long before I met you
C                                      F
I saw a spark in his eyes of forgotten desire
       G                                          C
With a word or a touch, I could've rekindled that fire
C                                     F
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
G                                      C
No one can light up the night like you do
C                                            F
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
G                                     C
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
C                                              F
Sometimes at night, I think of the lovers I've known
G                                            C
Remember 'em holding me helps me not feel so alone
C                                                     F
Then I feel you beside me, and even their memories are gone
     G                                             C
Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn
C                                     F
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
G                                      C
No one can light up the night like you do
C                                            F
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
G                                     C
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
G                                 C
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
C
Oh
