Old Flames (Can’t Hold a Candle to You) Lyrics by Erin Enderlin

Faulkner County

2019

[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 forgotten desire
With a word, or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I have 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 light of dawn
[Chorus]
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
