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

Oh yeah
Ooh ooh

Like sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known 
And I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone (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 
But old flames can't hold a candle to you 

Oh yeah (ooh)
Oh oh, oh yeah
Oh, oh
Ah (ah!)
Ah! 
Ah yeah 
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Candle to you
Old flames (oh yeah)
Old flames (oh yeah)
Old flames (oh yeah)
Old flames (oh yeah)
Can't hold a candle to you
