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

Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To Youby Merle Haggard C FDowntown tonight I saw an old friend someone whoG7 CI used to take comfort from long before I met you C7 FI caught a spark from her eyes a forgotten desire G7 CWith a word or a touch I could have rekindled that fire FBut old flames can't hold a candle to youG7 CNo one can light up the night like you do C7 FFlickering embers of love I've known one or two G7 CBut old flames can't hold a candle to you FSometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known G7 CI remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone C7 FThen I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone G7 CLike stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn repeat #2
