D G who A7 D I used to take comfort from, long before I met you D7 G I caught a spark from his eyes a forgotten desire A7 D With a word or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire D G But old flames, can't hold a candle to you
A7 D No one can light up the night like you do D7 G Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two A7 D But old flames, can't hold a candle to you D G Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known A7 D I remember how holding them, helped me not feel so alone D7 G Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone A7 D Like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn D G But old flames, can't hold a candle to you A7 D No one can light up the night like you do D7 G Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two A7 D But old flames, can't hold a candle to you
