Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You-Merle Haggard

[00:00.550]Downtown tonight I saw an old friend someone who [00:11.290]I use to take comfort from long before I met you [00:23.030]I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire [00:33.480]With a word or a touch I could have rekindled that fire [00:42.250]Old flames can't hold a candle to you [00:53.200]No one can light up the night like you do [01:04.420]Flickering embers of love I've known one or two [01:15.360]But old flames can't hold a candle to you [01:32.210]Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known [01:43.170]I remember how holding they helped me not feel so alone [01:54.240]Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone [02:05.100]Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn [02:13.920]Old flames can't hold a candle to you [02:25.020]No one can light up the night like you do [02:36.230]Flickering embers of love I've known one or two [02:47.160]But old flames can't hold a candle to you [03:20.510]Flickering embers of love I've known one or two [03:31.380]But old flames can't hold a candle to you
