Parton, Dolly - Old Flames (Can't Hold A Candle To You) Lyrics
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
I use to take comfort from long before I met you
I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
With a word, or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
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
Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Mmmm...

Hard to believe theres over 100 thumbs dpwn on beautiful country music...must be kids that also like graffiti.
One of my favourites, a gem of a song and a gem of a woman
2019 anybody?
A zaithiamin a hlathu te hi a mawi si.... Henu te reuh hichu ka duh ve thlawt a ni.
Remembering the primary days when I would play my dad's cassette repeatedly...
My father was a fan too. I used to sing along whenever he played the songs
Never heard of this girl but she sure sings purdy.

Smashing song ,Great singer , dear Dolly
Beautiful song dolly thank you very much
I wish my future husband will sing this to me
Wonderful, dolly!
Never will any singer match Dolly Parton! And that voice!
I feel differently. The best female singer Loretta Lynn.
i would have loved to see sister rosetta tharpe be alive to play with dolly. they would have been magic. go look up " didnt it rain" by Rosetta. she was the one who brought down the house before chuck berry, elvis & ray charles. im sure dolly knows of her very well. shes a hidden secret. i only just decovered her myself. trust me, check her out.
@helen telehowski its not about whos best. its about who gets into each of our hearts. different songs from different artist cant compete because we live different life experiences & bond to the songs we most relate to.
@helen telehowski Neither is better than Emmylou or Linda R~~but they're all great :)
This woman is amazing.she is loved worldwide . Her talent is unmatched, and she is truly a remarkable person.ive followed her career since back with porter. She’s written hundreds of songs, sung hundreds more, and every one is terrific. Love you, dolly!
Kesha’s mum Pebbe Serbert wrote this song.
WHO is singing harmony with Dolly?
I would say it's Porter Wagoner
LOL Probably!
Why would u say that?
Her brother Randy Parton
If you want to hear a great cover of this song check out Jessica McLaughlin she is amazing.
From the remotest corners of tha world ....but Dollly u really touch with ur songs
my no.1 song love it
21st December 2017
My momma always sang this song
Mykje sant der (//)
nice rythm with nice lyric
Den er fin !!
Da er sant da ho syng.fin den!!
If anyone is wondering...Kesha's mom, Pebe wrote this song. Johnny Cash sang it with June Carter and it was covered by many country stars like Dolly. Kesha does a great version if you search for it. Dolly's is one of the best versions.
Pe Dro BITCH FIRST OFF I NEVER KNEW KEYSHA EXISTED TIL I READ THOSE COMMENTS. THAR BITCH SOUNDS DRINKER THAN DRUNK WHEN SHE OPENS HER MOUTH. SHE IS AS FAR FROM A SINGER AND AS FAR FROM TALENTED AS YOU CAN GET. THAT BITCH WILL NEVER HAVE TALENT. SO HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU SAY SHE'S TALENTED WHEN ANYBODY SOBER OR DRUNK KNOWS WITHOUT A FUCKING DOUBT JUST BY LISTENING TO HER OFF KEY DRUNK SOUNDING VOICE KNOWS THAT SHE WILL NEVER CLASSIFY AS A SINGER. ALSO I HAVE ABSO FUCKING LUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH ME YOU DUMB ASS. I AM A THERAPIST SO I WOULD KNOW IF THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH ME.
countrygirl countrymusiclover You obviously know who Kesha is, otherwise you wouldn't keep asking what a "keysha" is. You ignorant, cousin fucking, troll.
Pebe serbert's real name was Rosemary
@countrygirl countrymusiclover shut the fuck up about having no talent, you're sitting here having an argument in a youtube comment section, mature a little bit ffs
Who the H*** is Kesha???
Silly Dolly ...this is a Haggard tune!! ;) She does a fine version here tho.
Merle sang it in 1985. Dolly did it in 1980 -- her version charted at No. 1. Hag never released it as a single.
The husband & wife song writing team Pebe Sebert & Hugh Moffatt get the credit for writing this gem of a song. Merle then released it on his 1985 album titled "Kern River". Good Stuff. Merle & Dolly were pals. Saying this is a Haggard tune was simply my opinion.
Dolly my dear always loved you, such beautiful voice, I love this song, get's right in to my heart, thank you for posting
Fernanda Gray pp
