I used to take comfort from long before I met you
I caught a spark from her 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 lights of dawn
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

Old flames can't hold a candle to you
guitar solo
