Downtown tonight I saw an old friend, [F#] someone who
[G#] I used to take comfort from long before I [C#] met you
I [G#]
[C#] caught a spark from his eyes, a forgotten
[F#] desire
With [G#] a word or a touch I could have rekindled that [C#] fire
But old flames can't hold a candle [F#] to you
[G#] No one can light up the night like [C#] you do
[C]
[C#] Flickering embers of love I've known [F#] one or two

are gone
[A] Like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light [D] of dawn
