Down[D] town tonight,I saw an old flame someone[G] who,
I[A] used to take comfort from[G] long before I met[D] you,[A],,
I cought a[D] spark from her eye,a forgotten[G] desire,
With a[A] word or a totch love I[G] could have rekindled that[D] fire.
[Chorus]
But[D] old flames cant hold a candle to[G] you,
[A]No one can light up the night like you[D] do,[A],,
Flickering[D] embers of love I've known one or[G] two,
But[A] old flames cant hold a candle to[D] you,
[2]
Sometimes at night I think of the lovers I've known,
And I remember how holding them,
Helped me not feel so alone,
Then I feel you beside me,and even their memories are gone,
Like the stars in the night,lost in the sweet light of dawn,
[Repeat chorus twice]
