Old Flames (Can’t Hold A Candle To You) – Kesha (feat. Dolly Parton) (originally by Joe Sun)

Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who I use 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
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 sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I’ve known And I remember how holding them helped me not 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
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 Oh, yeah…
