(Verse 1)
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 eyes of for[C/E]gotten desire
With a word, or a touch, I could’ve rekindled that fire
(Chorus)
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[C/Bb][F/A]
[Fm/Ab]Oh, yeah, [C/Bb]ooh[F/A][Fm/Ab]
(Verse 2)
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
(Chorus)
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[C/Bb][F/A]
[Fm/Ab]Oh, yeah[C/Bb][F/A][Fm/Ab]
