Old Flames (Can't Hold A Candle To You) lyrics - Kesha (feat. Dolly Parton)

(originally by Joe Sun)

[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}
