Dolly Parton — Old Flame Can’t Hold A Candle To You

    	    	Вступление

E                                             A  
Downtown tonight I saw an old friend  someone who 
 B7                                            E  
I used to take comfort from long before I met you 
                                  E7        A  
I caught a spark from her eyes  a forgotten desire 
     B7                                             E  
With a word or a touch  I could have rekindled that fire 
  
                                      A  
But old flames can't hold a candle to you 
 B7                                     E  
No one can light up the night like you do 
                               E7           A  
Flickering embers of love I've known one or two 
    B7                                E  
But old flames can't hold a candle to you 
  
                                               A  
Sometimes at night  I think of old lovers I've known 
  B7                                              E  
I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone 
                                         E7           A  
Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone 
     B7                                             E  
Like stars in the night  lost in the sweet light of dawn
