Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You
recorded by Merle Haggard
written by Pebe Sebert and Hugh Moffatt
E A
Downtown tonight I saw an old friend someone who
B7 E
I used to take comfort from long before I met you
E7 A
I caught a spark from her eyes a forgotten desire
B7 E
With a word or a touch I could have rekindled that fire
A
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
B7 E
No one can light up the night like you do
E7 A
Flickering embers of love I've known one or two
B7 E
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
A
Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known
B7 E
I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
E7 A
Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
B7 E
Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn
