Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You
recorded by Merle Haggard
written by Pebe Sebert and Hugh Moffatt
A D
Downtown tonight I saw an old friend someone who
E7 A
I used to take comfort from long before I met you
A7 D
I caught a spark from her eyes a forgotten desire
E7 A
With a word or a touch I could have rekindled that fire
A D
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
E7 A
No one can light up the night like you do
A7 D
Flickering embers of love I've known one or two
E7 A
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
D
Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known
E7 A
I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
A7 D
Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
E7 A
Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn
A D
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
E7 A
No one can light up the night like you do
A7 D
Flickering embers of love I've known one or two
E7 A
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
