Old Flames (Can't Hold a Candle To You) - Kesha/Dolly Parton

Downtown tonight I saw an old friend someone who

I use to take comfort from long before I met you

I caught a spark in his eyes of 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

But 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

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

Can't hold a candle to you

Candle to you

Old flames

Old flames

Old flames

Can't hold a candle to you
