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

(Youre cuddled up

Right close beside me

(I gotta say)

That this old world

Just aint 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



(Its nothin but)

Infatuation

(It didnt last)

Till graduation

(I gotta say)

Jenny Parker and a

School boy crush

Could never hold

A candle to love



Bridge:

Love true love knew along

It would find us

Its 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 cant recall

What I was just 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
