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 pa*sed 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
