She Can't Hold A Candle To You

She Can't Hold A Candle To You - Tony Orlando & Dawn

She can't hold a candle to you

I don't want to hurt her

But baby it's true

I thought that I loved her

But I guess I was wrong

I ain't gonna string her along

She's pretty as a picture

And sweeter than a song

And any other man would love her so

She puts her little arms around me

Cute as anyone I know

Now I don't want to hurt her

Break her little heart

And I don't want to give the kid aloan

She's all dressed up to go dancing

But I don't feel like romancing

Oh she tried to light a fire

But now it's turning blue

'Cause she can't hold a candle to you

Met you on a Friday

On 42nd street

But I was out there shopping for rings

I got a look at you and baby

My little heart began to sing

I knew that I had loved her

Since time began to tick

And in the nick of time you came along

Now for me comes the hard part

'Cause I can't marry my sweetheart

Oh she tried to light a fire

But now it's turning blue

'Cause she can't hold a candle to you

She can't hold a candle to you
