(Verse 1)
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, some
one who
I used to take comfort from long before I met
you
I caught a spark from his eyes of for[C/E]gotten de
sire
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 re
member how holding them helped me not feel so a
lone (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
