Merle Haggard Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You
Downtown tonight I saw an old friend someone who
I used to take comfort from long before I met you
And 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
And remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are
gone
And Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light 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
