Never Hold A Candle To Love - 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 down in Monaco

(But sittin' here) Parked in your driveway

(You're cuddled up) Right here beside me

(I gotta say) That this old world just ain’t thrillin' enough

It could never hold a candle to love

Oh yeah!

Way back in grade school I thought Suzy 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) Suzy 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

Oh yeah!

(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

Yeah, it could never hold a candle to love

It could never hold a candle to love
