Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend someone who
I used to take comfort from long before I met you
And I caught a spark in her eyes a forgotten desire
With a word or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire

Chorus:
But old [F#m/D]flames, can’t hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love, I’ve known one or two
But old flames, can’t hold a candle to you[D/C][D/B][D/Ab]

Key Change to D#
Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I’ve known
I remember how holding them, helped me not feel so alone
Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
And like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn

Chorus (in key of D#)
