Lyric Never Hold A Candle

(Steve Wilkinson/ Andrew Gold)

When I was a young thing
I swore a Mustang
Would be my ticket
To the great unknown
Yeah I could see me
Hanging out with royalty
La dulce vida cruisin Monaco

{But sittin here}
Parked in your driveway
{You re cuddled up}
Right close beside me
{I gotta say}
That this old world
Just ain t thrillin enough
It could never hold
A candle to love

Way back in grade school
I thought Jenny was so cool
We passed each other
Notes in study hall
She was my first kiss
My heart said this must be it
At 13 you think you know it all

{It s nothin but}
Infatuation
{It didn t last}
Till graduation
{I gotta say}
Jenny Parker and a
School boy crush
Could never hold
A candle to love

Love true love knew all along
It would find us
It s such a sweet ride
Just close your eyes
And hold on tight

{But sittin here}
With you tonight
{Just holdin hands}
Under the moonlight
{One kiss and I}
I can t recall
What I was thinkin of
But it could never
Hold a candle to love

No it could never hold
A candle to love
It could never hold
A candle to love
