Old Flames (Can't Hold A Candle To You)

(album: Rainbow - 2017)

[Kesha (Dolly Parton):]
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
I used to take comfort from long before I met you
(I caught a spark in his eyes of forgotten desire)
With a word or a touch, (I could have rekindled that fire)

[Kesha & Dolly Parton:]
But old 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

[Kesha (Dolly Parton):]
Oh, yeah
(Ooh)

[Dolly Parton (Kesha) {Both}:]
But sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known
And I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
(Feel so alone)
{Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone}
(Like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn)
{Oh, oh}

[Kesha & Dolly Parton (Kesha):]
But old 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)
But old flames can't hold a candle to you

[Kesha {Dolly Parton}:]
Oh, yeah {Mm}, oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh {Oh}, oh
Oh, oh, yeah
{Can't hold} (To you) {a candle to you, candle to you} (Oh, yeah)
{Old flames} (Oh, yeah), {old flames} (Oh, yeah)
{Old flames} (Oh, oh), {old flames} (Oh, yeah)
{Can't hold a candle to you}
